Responding to the announcement by the Scottish Charity Regulator that it is asking three Scottish private schools to comply with legislation to widen access or risk losing their charitable status, Scottish Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary Hugh Henry MSP said:
“It is not acceptable that these schools are failing to demonstrate public benefit despite receiving the financial support of having charitable status.
“If they cannot or will not show they are providing the public benefit which the legislation requires, then the Scottish Charity Regulator must act to remove their charitable status.”
