HC Deb 06 April 1984 vol 57 cc693-4W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now seek to put other public institutions on an equal footing with local authority museums by adding, in accordance with section 20(3)(k) of the Value Added Tax Act 1983, national and university museums to the bodies listed in section 20(3) of that Act; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hayhoe

No. Government grants for national and university museums already broadly take account of taxes such as VAT.
