Debate
Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) BillContribution
On this point from the noble Lords, Lord Lexden and Lord Black, “independent school” is not just a term in natural use, as he suggests, but a term defined in legislation, the Education Act 1996. That legal definition includes state-funded academies, so it is important that we do not use it in this Bill.
