Conservative — Rutland and Stamford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 October 2024

Debate

VAT: Independent Schools

Contribution

Let me make a point to demonstrate how rushed and ill thought through this policy is. My understanding is that if a child in a nursery has turned five but the other children in the class have not, all the parents in that nursery year will have to pay VAT on their child’s nursery fees. That is how badly this has been thought through.
