THE Government has bowed to pressure from Shipley MP Philip Davies to reveal how much money each school in his constituency is receiving.
Mr Davies, pictured, made the demand after some schools saw a reduction in funding, while some had seen an increase.
He said: “Those schools where the budget is going up seem to have their costs increasing at a faster rate than the increase in funding they are getting.
“Will the Schools Minister look again at the schools budget in the Shipley constituency and commit to making sure they get adequate funding?”
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said the Government is spending record amounts on schools this year, and will provide Mr Davies with a breakdown of schools spending in Shipley.
Mr Davies added: “I want to ensure Shipley schools are getting a fair deal and share of money.”
