Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate, Andrew Duffield, meets Lib-Dem Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable

Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate, Andrew Duffield has welcomed promise of more cash for Northumberland schools in plans launched by Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg.

'I am particularly pleased that funding is proposed to cut infant class sizes to private school levels of just 15.

Liberal Democrats will also get central government off the backs of schools, teachers and pupils. The days of ministers in Whitehall stifling schools and interfering with everything that happens in the classroom must end. Schools in Tynedale need to be free to get on with teaching children.

These plans build on the action already taken by the Lib Dem administration in Northumberland to save our Middle Schools and restore free school transport.'
