Proceeding contribution from Nigel Huddleston (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 October 2024. It occurred during Opposition day on VAT: Independent Schools.

VAT: Independent Schools

My hon. Friend puts it well. I do not have to add to his comments.

This is a rushed and ill-judged policy that will not raise the money the Government assumed it would, undermine the viability of many independent schools, put immense pressure on the state school system and put in jeopardy the education prospects of thousands of students, including many with special needs. We implore Ministers to reconsider.
