Millennium Dome Faith Zone Donation: VAT

HL Deb 15 March 2001 vol 623 cc105-6WA

Baroness Anelay of St. Johns

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether VAT is payable in regard to the donation of £1 million made by the Hinduja family to the Faith Zone at the Millennium Dome; and, if so, why it is payable, how much is payable, when and by whom. [HL1081]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

It is a long-standing practice of successive governments not to comment on the VAT affairs of individual businesses.
