Damian Hinds

Conservative — East Hampshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 March 2025

Debate

Independent Schools: VAT and Business Rates Relief

Contribution

On faith-based education, the Minister is quite right that there are large numbers of faith-based schools in the state sector. However, there are some denominations and particular religious traditions for which there are not large numbers of schools, and whose actually charge fees sometimes considerably below the average cost of a state school place. Does he recognise that there may be a case for an exemption in such cases?
