That this House supports the necessary changes to further education as outlined in the Tomlinson report; calls on the Government to support changes in 14 to 19 education provision; urges the Government to equalise funding per student across both schools and colleges; and calls for the necessary state funding to be provided to ensure that students do not, once again, foot the bill for years of under-investment in the sector.
