Tristram Hunt MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, said:   “The Liberal Democrats are locked-in to the failing Free School programme. They gave it their stamp of approval from day one. They are as much to blame as the Tories. “They are culpable in the decision to re-allocate money away from areas where there are huge pressures on primary school places into the Free School vanity project.   “Ministers should report to the House of Commons explaining their decision to direct £400 million away from areas of high and severe need for new school places at a time when we have a national crisis in primary places.”   Ends
