Sky News understands that more and more families are raising concerns about the 'damaging' policy.
A recruitment and retention crisis in the armed forces will grow unless the government exempts military families from paying VAT on private school fees, insiders have warned. Sky News understands that more and more families are raising concerns internally about the 'damaging' policy after the chancellor failed to offer sufficient protections in her budget.
To protect against this disruption some parents decide to send their kids to private school - often to board. More than 2,000 of these personnel - the majority of them in the army - claim money from the MoD to help cover the cost of private school fees.
