HC Deb 21 February 1980 vol 979 c335W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will arrange to collect information about the amount of income tax repaid under covenant to educational institutions.

Mr. Peter Rees

No. The cost of doing so would be considerable. The advancement of education is only one of the different categories of charitable purpose and many charities apply their income both to educational and to other charitable purposes.
