HC Deb 08 December 1997 vol 302 cc489-90W
Mr. Jack

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment his Department has made of the Board of Trade's proposed changes to the guidelines on granting exemptions from corporation tax to scientific research associations. [19551]

Dr. John Cunningham

The proposed changes to the guidelines would have a significant impact on a number of bodies under my Department's sponsorship and, following representations from several of these, both my noble Friend the Parliamentary Secretary and I, have raised the matter with colleagues at the Department of Trade and Industry.
