Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

Obviously, I would be concerned if there are schools close to that threshold. With an intake that changes year to year, schools could move in and out of the threshold frequently, which would not be a practical way forward. A threshold school could move between being a private school and not being a private school for the purposes of this Bill, with its charitable entitlement in relation to business rates relief potentially being revoked and then returned. So, I hope the Minister can clarify that there is no risk of that happening.
