whose school is nicknamed shed city. does he share my delight that the council has allocated 8.4 million pounds to the build a new school? may i thank him for that support of that campaign? >> i'm grateful for his question. i'm a big supporter britain's special schools. sometimes they have acute needs and i'm proud that this government has invested in special schools. >> mr. speaker, following the government's new funding for you las for universities this year, student numbers dropped or student admissions dropped by over 50,000. my own local university despite meeting its target suffered a cut in its allocation and its being told there will be another cut next year. what guarantees can the prime minister give that universities such as this one will not suffer year on year reduction in its student numbers as a result of this year's formula? >> this government took difficult decisions to make sure we could maintain the number of people going to our universities. the question i think goes right back to the party opposite.
