§ Mr. Lomasasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many of the schools represented in the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools have declared themselves charitable trusts and are thus eligible to claim relief from selective employment tax and a 50 per cent. concession on rate assessments; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Edward ShortI estimate that about 250 of these schools are, or form part of, charities. Precise figures are not available.
