Edward Morello

Liberal Democrat — West Dorset

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 May 2025

Debate

Dedicated Schools Grant

Contribution

I agree 100% with my hon. Friend’s point. I have no doubt that in her constituency, as in mine, there is a similar problem: when the Government talk about a fully funded pay increase, it is based on a school average. In many rural places, we do not have the average because we have smaller class sizes, or we have single, large schools that cover a large geographical area and a large number of pupils, which are heavily disadvantaged as a result.
