HOME EDUCATORS

Early day motion 1892, tabled 25 June 2008 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 21 members.

That this House recognises and celebrates the hard work done by many home educators in Britain who educate children at home to an exceptionally high standard where traditional forms of education are not appropriate; further recognises the saving to the taxpayer provided by home educators whose children are not schooled at a cost to the Exchequer; and calls on the Government to review the policy of cutting income support for home educators.
