Multi-sport Grassroots Facilities Programme
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Monday 3rd February 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme projects have (a) been completed and (b) remain incomplete since the start of this Parliament. Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) Since 9 July 2024, a total of 637 Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities projects have been completed across the UK. Projects funded include new and upgraded artificial grass pitches, clubhouses, changing rooms, floodlights, and pitch maintenance equipment. As of 30 January 2025, 521 projects identified for funding remain incomplete. |
Schools: Uniforms
Asked by: Ian Sollom (Liberal Democrat - St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire) Thursday 30th January 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the cost to families of VAT on school uniform for 14-16 year olds. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) VAT is a broad-based tax on consumption, and the 20 per cent standard rate applies to most goods and services. The UK’s generous regime for children’s clothing costs approximately £2 billion a year, and we are one of only two countries in the OECD – out of 37 total - that maintain this zero rate.
Expanding the existing relief would also not necessarily succeed in reducing the price of school uniforms. Evidence suggests that businesses only partially pass on any savings from lower VAT rates, instead absorbing the additional saving from tax to increase their profit margin.
Going further by zero-rating all branded school uniform would also carry significant risks that the relief would not remain tightly targeted at those whom it would be intended to benefit. This is because many schools have moved away from traditional styles and uniforms, opting instead for a range of clothing that could be acceptably worn by adults, such as plain white shirts or black shoes. |
