▸ Context
The member seeks a meeting with the Education Secretary to discuss funding for a secondary school in Wolverhampton.
What recent discussions has he had with the Secretary of State for Education on school funding? I understand that there are immediate pressing issues for the Department, but after this will my right hon.

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. Friend the Chancellor in the Budget, and obviously part of the discussion at the comprehensive spending round will be the allocation of that budget.
