The Bill not only has an impact on businesses; it carries out this Government’s spiteful and politically motivated attack on education in the private sector. As my hon. Friend the Member for South Northamptonshire (Sarah Bool) said, it is not the case that private schools are all luxury businesses; many face significant challenges. It is worth going through some of those challenges in a bit of detail to understand why the amendments are important and why many of the things that have been said about the consequences of the Bill are simply incorrect.
