§ Dr. StarkeyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what were the total numbers of responses to the consultation on "Fair Funding: improving delegation to schools"; and how many were(a) in favour of and (b) opposed to the proposals. [57081]
§ Ms Estelle Morris2,967 responses were received. Most of them contained a range of views on the different measures, although broadly speaking secondary schools favoured more delegation whilst primary schools preferred to keep LEA services. GM schools favoured the increased delegation while LEAs expressed concern. I am sending my hon. Friend a summary analysis of the responses and placing copies in the Library.
