So are you suggesting scrapping private schools ? I'm not adverse to the idea of the business rate relief being stopped but I would want to see a detailed study of any effect it would have on state schools rather than the idea just being a Labour sound bite.
No I would not ban them. I would take away their tax reliefs and I would "encourage" the elite universities to change their admissions procedures to make sure their intake of students was commensurate with the relative populations of state vs public schools. "Encouragement" would I guess be financial and moral pressure. I would also look at charging the public schools with a fee for use of state educated teachers
