Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 February 2025

Debate

Non-Domestic Rating (Multipliers and Private Schools) Bill

Contribution

I am broadly supportive of the other amendments in relation to what I might call notable entertainment and cultural venues, which is a very important issue, and the several amendments in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Scott of Bybrook, referring to manufacturing. This raises the question in my mind as to what on earth the Government think they are doing by adversely affecting key manufacturing, when they promised to support the high street and make online sellers pay more. If you can single out schools for especially unfavourable treatment, it is certainly possible to identify factories for exclusion. On that note, I beg to move.
