Dear Mr Hunt,
On Thursday, you will put forward your plans for mending our broken economy. The decisions you take and choices you make could change the lives of millions of children and their families, particularly the most vulnerable and those on low incomes, for years to come.
There is no doubt that the Government faces difficult choices, but we believe it cannot choose to balance the books now on the back of the futures of our children and our schools - both so critical to our country's success.
