Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 1:58 pm on 30 January 2019.
Minister, taxation powers offer the opportunity to introduce change to the tax system to help create a fairer and more equal Wales. At the moment, private schools sustain an institutionalised unfairness and inequality, working against social mobility by entrenching educational inequality that feeds through to careers and life chances, with ex-private school pupils disproportionately featuring at the top of professions and businesses. Will you carefully consider ending the tax advantages of charitable status for private schools to further equality of opportunity and outcome in Wales?
