What recent discussions has he had with the Secretary of State for Education on school funding?

Answer from The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Steve Barclay)

I would be very happy to give that commitment to my hon. Friend. He will be aware of the significant allocation to capital funding that was set out by my right hon.
