Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2025

Debate

School Costs and Employer’s National Insurance Contributions

Contribution

This is just scaremongering from the Conservative party, because the Tories have no plan for the future of our education system. They have no plan to deliver high and rising standards. Their only education priority is to hand tax breaks back to private schools, which means cutting free breakfast clubs, cutting school-based nurseries and cutting school building.
