Liberal Democrat — Newton Abbot

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 December 2025

Debate

Village Schools

Contribution

It is a similar story in rural Devon. In my constituency, schools in Broadhempston and Bishopsteignton are seeing falling roll numbers. Without the critical input of a core funding floor and help with transport, those schools may eventually close, which will kill those villages. We must not allow that to happen.
