    Good morning and welcome to this week's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

    Labour's Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson will be in the hot seat this morning, joined by shadow education secretary Laura Trott.

    This comes just before the Schools White Paper is announced on Monday.

    The plan is expected to set a target to halve the disadvantage gap between students in England within two decades. It will also propose changes to how support needs for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are reviewed as they move from primary to secondary school.

    Also appearing on the show are former prime minister Boris Johnson and former head of the military Adm Tony Radakin. You can read more here before they appear on screen.
