Fining parents will lead to "national service tax" 

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Fining parents will lead to "national service tax" 

Responding to the Conservative's failure to rule out fining parents whose children don't take part in their National Service Scheme, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

"Not content with crashing the economy and sending mortgages spiralling, now the Conservatives want to fine parents whose children don't take part in their hare-brained scheme.

"Rishi Sunak wants to clobber families with a National Service tax.

"It just shows the Conservative Party is totally out of touch and deserves to be kicked out of office.

"The Liberal Democrats would reverse Conservative cuts to the army, recruiting the professional soldiers our armed forces need to keep the country safe."
