Private Education: Inspections
Asked by: Baroness Taylor of Bolton (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 28th August 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government how much was spent on the inspection of independent schools by Ofsted in the five financial years prior to 5 July 2024. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) Ofsted inspects around 50% of the 2,496 (July 2025) registered private schools in England. There is currently disparity between the fees charged for inspections and full cost recovery. The table below sets out the budgeted cost of inspections compared to the fee income, over the last three years. Ofsted do not hold comparable data for the 2020/21 and 2021/22 financial years as Ofsted inspections were heavily affected by COVID-19 and were therefore not typical years of inspection activity.
Government policy is that costs associated with inspections by government bodies should be recoverable. This will reduce the need for government subsidy. The government is considering options to close the gap. |

National Insurance Contributions: Age
Asked by: Baroness Taylor of Bolton (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 1st October 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government what is the estimated annual cost of the age-related exemption to the payment of National Insurance contributions. Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) publishes the estimated annual cost of exempting individuals over State Pension age from paying National Insurance contributions (NICs) in the National Insurance contributions tab of the Structural Tax Reliefs publication. The estimated annual costs for employer NICs relief for apprentices under 25 and employees under 21 are published by HMRC in the NICs tab of the Non-Structural Tax Reliefs publication. These publications are both available online.
The figures for these three exemptions/reliefs are shown below:
Note 1: Figures shown are in £ million. Note 2: Figures marked with an asterisk (*) are provisional |

National Insurance Contributions: Age
Asked by: Baroness Taylor of Bolton (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 1st October 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review the age-related exemption for National Insurance contributions. Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) Employees and the self-employed make contributions that determine their level of State Pension until State Pension age. Payment of National Insurance contributions (NICs) builds an individual’s entitlement to claim contributory benefits which then replace earnings in certain circumstances, for example if someone is unable to work or is retired. After reaching State Pension age, the liability for employee and self-employed NICs no longer exists. Employers are able to claim employer NICs reliefs including those for under-21s and under-25 apprentices. This means employers pay no employer NICs for apprentices under 25 or employees under 21 whose annual salaries are below £50,270. The Government keeps all taxes under review as part of the policy making process. |
