HC Deb 29 March 1999 vol 328 c500W
Mrs. May

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will set out the legal status of each education action forum; and if that legal status entitles each forum to be exempt from the payment of VAT. [79032]

Ms Estelle Morris

The Action Forum has the legal status of a corporate body. The forum also has exempt charitable status, and all forum members are trustees. The forum is not exempt from the payment of VAT.
