Cllr Kerri Harold questioned the Secretary of State about several issues including the funding for pupils in the East Riding which under the last government was allowed to slip well below the national average. Also raised was the good work that is done at the Beverley Children’s Centre and all the candidates gained assurance from Mr Gove that the funding will remain.
