00:00Hi, I'm Sophie Mailer-Mailin and here are today's headlines.
00:05Three historic Yorkshire schools that have been going for 500 years combined have recently announced that they're closing.
00:15Fullneck School in Pudsey, Queen Margaret School for Girls in York have gone into administration,
00:23while Morelands in Leeds has announced that it's closing in December.
00:28We can exclusively reveal that Yorkshire schools' private schools are being unfairly hit by VAT.
00:37A former teacher and Yorkshire MP Mark Sewards have said that private schools have got to cut their cloths,
00:45so really they don't have to be passing on these extra fees to parents.
00:51One of the schools is actually in Rachel Reeves' constituency, Fullneck in Pudsey.
00:58But despite all this, our analysis shows that Labour have no regrets when it comes to introducing their VAT policy.
