answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2016 answer text <p>At the Spending Review we announced we would protect the core schools budget in real terms during this Parliament. Schools are expected to manage within their individual budgets, including taking account of national insurance and pension contributions. From 2017 we have committed to introduce a national funding formula so that we can allocate funding more fairly, based on schools’ individual needs and the characteristics of their pupils. That will mean schools are better placed to manage cost pressures and to make informed decisions about their spending over a longer term.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 09/06/2016 15:17:28 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
