§ Mrs. Anne Campbell (Cambridge)I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of 1, 300 constituents in Cambridgeshire. The petition was organised by the Fair Funding group, which has supported the campaign to get a fairer settlement for education funding for Cambridgeshire.
The petition states:
The petition of residents of Cambridge and the county of Cambridgeshire opposes the current Standard Spending Assessment scheme as a method for allocating the funding to our nation's schools.The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to implement an interim arrangement with immediate effect, which will provide for a fairer allocation to those counties at the bottom of the league for SSA per pupil.And the petitioners remain, etc.
§ To lie upon the Table.
