As part of his work to fight to scrap the Government's education tax, Bradley met with the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury.
Following his meeting, Bradley said:
"This week I met with the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury following my recent debate on the Government’s decision to impose VAT on independent school fees.
"I’m fighting this education tax because I’m concerned about the impact this policy will have on our state schools. As someone who was proudly educated in state schools in Worcestershire, I want every child to reach their full potential.
"However, this policy will do nothing to improve education in our state schools because the Government does not have a plan to address increased class sizes as a result of the displacement from independent schools.
"By punishing independent schools, the Government is punishing our state schools too. They are levelling down education across the board, not levelling up education in our state schools."
