Labour — Edinburgh South West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 March 2025

Debate

Independent Schools: VAT and Business Rates Relief

Contribution

The hon. Member is talking with great understanding about the schools in his constituency, including state and independent, which is fantastic to hear. But we have heard in this debate about full state schools in England, about overloaded schools and underfunded schools. He will acknowledge that funding had to be found somewhere to try to fix the problems. We have one solution. Is there an alternative?
