Leaked advice deals Michael Gove new blow in UK schools row

Patrick Hennessy:

The advice, leaked to The Sunday Telegraph, is the latest blow for Mr Gove as he battles against the fallout from his botched announcement last month in which he axed more than 700 projects.

At least two local authorities - Sandwell and Nottingham City Council - are known to be preparing possible legal challenges, and several other councils may follow in moves which could see the taxpayer facing payouts totalling hundreds of millions of pounds.
