Joan Ryan – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Joan Ryan on 2015-11-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent representations she has received from heads of special educational needs schools on the increase in costs from national insurance and pension scheme contributions.

Mr Sam Gyimah

The Department has received a large number of letters from headteachers about the increase in national insurance and pension scheme contributions, some of which have been from special schools.

We are committed to protecting schools funding, as we pledged in our manifesto. Throughout this Parliament, as pupil numbers increase so too will the amount of money for our schools.
