division_name: Fair Taxation of Schools and Education Standards Committee
motion: <p class="indent" pid="e566.3/16" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Removing the tax advantages of private schools would boost standards in the state sector and raise vital extra funds&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e572.3/8" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;charitable status for most private schools is something that should come to an end. The monies saved by Government from these concessions could be used for more teachers&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e572.3/11" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;That tax advantage allows the wealthiest in this country, indeed the very wealthiest in the globe, to buy a prestige service that secures their children a permanent positional edge in society at an effective 20% discount. How can this be justified?&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e584.0/11" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Everyone should have the opportunity to succeed.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e586.0/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the recruitment of new teachers, additional teacher training, and careers advice and work experience for all pupils.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e587.0/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;When children sit down to eat with friends and teachers in a civilised environment, it cements relationships, helps them to develop social skills and reinforces positive behaviour throughout the day.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e598.0/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Teachers and support staff see the difference a healthy school dinner makes.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e598.0/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;This will not touch the sides when we factor in our own increased energy costs, staffing costs and now having to subsidise school dinners.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e600.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;There shall be a select committee, to be called the Fair Taxation of Schools and Education Standards Committee&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e609.0/7" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;It is not clear why private schools, many of whose costs to parents are literally in the stratosphere, should be regarded as charities. To what purpose?&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e609.0/9" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Private school fees are VAT-exempt. That tax advantage allows the wealthiest in this country, indeed the very wealthiest in the globe, to buy a prestige service that secures their children a permanent positional edge in society at an effective 20 per cent discount. How can this be justified?&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e610.2/7" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Introducing multimodal assessments so that young people&#8217;s progress is no longer measured solely through written exams.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e612.1/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;education is a necessity, not a luxury&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="e612.1/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;antagonism between the independent sector and the state sector&#8221;,</p>
