Baroness Barran (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2025

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

Before he sits down, can the Minister respond to one point that I made? If he does not have an example today, perhaps he could write to me and share the letter with other Members of the Committee. Does he have a real-life example of where “other consideration” has regularly—or even occasionally—been used in practice to replace fees, either wholly or partly? I have visions of, I do not know, farmers arriving with trailers loaded with whatever it might be. If the Minister does not have an example now, perhaps he could let me know. I also ask the Minister to confirm something. I take his point about the property value not necessarily being linked to the fees, but can he commit to considering, where a school charges less than the per pupil rate of state funding, whether this policy will still apply?
