In my constituency, we have a double whammy: the Conservative-led county administration has received the worst possible Ofsted rating for its SEND services and, at the same time, we have been severely disadvantaged by the very outdated funding formula, which puts Hertfordshire at a huge disadvantage. It would take us 15 years to catch up with neighbouring Buckinghamshire for money per pupil, even though Buckinghamshire joins us in the 40 worst funded councils in the country. Clearly, we want that funding formula to be fixed. We also want local service provision to be improved.
