Baroness Barran (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2025

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I thank again the noble Baroness, Lady Pinnock, for the vivid picture that she painted in her remarks of the desperation of some parents whose children are struggling in a state-funded school, and who make huge sacrifices to send their child to an independent school. I also thank the Minister for his clarification, as I have understood it, in relation to my Amendment 60. I think he is saying that independent special schools are exempt in this legislation but mainstream ones will not be, because they are extremely unlikely to be anywhere near the 50% threshold in terms of EHCPs.
