Given how much lower 0.6% is than the amount of children in poverty how exactly is this really doing anything other than making a gimmicky statement? No-one is saying that the government is wrong to put the money up, but how about putting REAL money up.<BR/><BR/>£4.65mil sounds like a lot of money to you and me, but over three years it is pittance and funds only 4.5k students a year out of 700k+ to take the trip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
