The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gareth Thomas on 2016-02-24.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will establish a system to permit supplementary schools and mainstream schools to bid for funding to support the professional development of staff teaching English to GCSE and A-level standard; and if she will make a statement.
