§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the cost of implementing a system of tax exemption for sports bodies responsible for the encouragement, development and governance of their 11W sport at a national level, where those bodies are representative of sporting or recreational activities deemed to have clear benefits for the health and welfare of participants; if he will make it his policy to implement such a system; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Maude[holding answer 14 December 1990]: The cost would depend upon the details of the tax exemption the hon. Member has in mind. As regards the possible implementation of such a system, I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget statement.
