Pippa Heylings

Liberal Democrat — South Cambridgeshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2026

Debate

Education Funding: Distribution

Contribution

That goes to the heart of it. All children, no matter where they live, deserve the right to, and the opportunity of, the best education they can have. Let me return to the issue of the debt, and the deficit that the council is holding as a result of the statutory override. Independent analysis suggests that by 2028, the national dedicated schools grant deficit could lie somewhere between £5.9 billion and £13 billion.
