Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2025

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

If we are to look at this from an egalitarian point of view, we all know that within our society the very richest and wealthiest will always be able to find a way to afford some form of private education. It will not be the Etons or the Harrows of this world that will go to the wall; it will be the smaller independent schools—those that, for example, specialise in SEN—that will be most dramatically hit. That is probably not the intention of the Government, but that will be the net impact.
