Schools (Charitable Status)

HC Deb 21 December 1982 vol 34 cc432-3W

Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to collect centrally information on the rates relief awarded by virtue of their charitable status to certain schools.

Mr. Allan Stewart

No. I understand that this information is not easy to obtain and I see no advantage in requiring local authorities to provide it.
