HC Deb 12 December 1973 vol 866 cc164-5W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his answers on 23rd May 1973 stating that the national museums and galleries then possessed the status of traders, qualified for the recovery of input tax arising in connection with value added tax, remain correct notwithstanding the fact that charging for admission at these institutions has not yet commenced.

Mr. Higgins

Yes. The national museums and galleries appear to have other trading activities.
