In his first spring Budget, Philip Hammond declared war on the UK's productivity gap. And his first front: Britain's classrooms. Alongside an expansion of technical education, the Chancellor pledged more cash for free schools. Some see this extra money as heralding a new generation of grammars.

Share Radio's Alex Clark spoke to Neil Carmichael, Conservative MP for Stroud and Chair of the Education Select Committee.
