HC Deb 05 May 1978 vol 949 c315W
Mr. Cope

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what basis an agency such as the Welsh Development Agency is treated for tax purposes.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

An agency such as the Welsh Development Agency which is established as an independent body corporate is a "company" within the meaning of the Taxes Acts and subject to the same tax rules as other bodies corporate.
