HC Deb 02 March 1976 vol 906 c522W
47. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, if he will take action to end the charitable status of public schools.

Mr. Mulley

When the reports of the Goodman Committee on the law of charity and the Layfield Committee on local authority finance are available I shall be considering, with other Ministers more directly concerned, what action should be taken in the light of these committees' conclusions to withdraw from public schools the fiscal benefits of charitable status.
