I say it again, Cabinet Secretary: for every £1 spent on the education system in England, Wales receives £1.20. There can be no excuse for funding schools by giving them less finance per pupil, per head, than is currently the case. It's scandalous.

One way that you could seek to start addressing this particular issue is to target resources at disadvantaged groups, and this is one thing, of course, that the UK coalition Government, when your party was in Government over there, sought to do with the pupil deprivation grant, and of course we have welcomed the previous Welsh Labour Government following suit with that.

One of the disadvantaged groups that we have in Wales is children whose parents are serving in the military. Service children are often having their education disrupted due to parental postings that require school moves and they often need additional pastoral support if their parents are on deployment. We know that the evidence suggests that, without extra support, these factors can actually impact on education attainment and outcomes for service pupils.

In England, the disadvantage has been recognised and the UK Department for Education, not the Ministry of Defence, provides a service pupil premium to schools with service children. It's Remembrance Week, Cabinet Secretary; will you take the opportunity in this important week to commit to introducing the service pupil premium here in Wales?
