Graham Allen report calls for more investment in early intervention
4 Jul 2011
MP Graham Allen has challenged the Treasury to rebalance government spending towards early intervention and establish a fund that will raise £200m from private investors.
The second report published by Allen as part of his government-commissioned review, Early Intervention: Smart Investment, Massive Savings, calls on the Treasury to gradually rebalance government spending towards early intervention in the next comprehensive spending review.
His argument is there would be a "deadweight to the economy" of having to meet the costs of under-achievement and poor educational attainment in the future.
