HC Deb 16 December 2003 vol 415 c819W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will list beneficiaries of the listed places of worship grant scheme. [143213]

Mr. Caborn

To date, 3,953 listed places of worship throughout the United Kingdom have received grant payments under the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme. A list of all recipients of payments could be produced only at disproportionate cost. This scheme returns in grant aid the difference between the amount of Value Added Tax paid on eligible repairs and maintenance and a lower 5 per cent. rate. Listed places of worship of all religions are eligible to claim under the scheme.
