At PMQs, Labour leader says children will lose out under plan worth 10% of what was recommended
Ministers’ plans for post-Covid schools catchup is so unambitious it will “hold Britain back for a generation”, Keir Starmer has said at prime minister’s questions.
The Labour leader repeatedly asked Boris Johnson why his government had ignored recommendations from its own catchup commissioner, Sir Kevan Collins, and instead announced a scheme costing a tenth of what Collins had called for, prompting his resignation.
