HL Deb 10 January 2005 vol 668 cc23-4WA
Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What assurances were given by UK Sport to the International Cricket Council over tax exemptions for remaining within the United Kingdom. [HL526]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

No assurances have been provided to the International Cricket Council (ICC) by UK Sport, or for that matter the Government, over the matter of tax exemptions.

UK Sport did inform the ICC that an approach would be made to the Government on the matter of tax exemptions for international sports federations based in the UK.

No promise or assurance was given to the ICC that such an approach would be successful.
