Tax Reliefs: Theatre, Orchestra and Museums and Galleries Exhibition

Debate between Lord Livermore and Baroness Quin

Tuesday 15th October 2024 Lords Chamber

[Lord Livermore (Lab)]

I am afraid I cannot comment on any specific tax.

[Baroness Quin (Lab)]

My Lords, having not had the opportunity before, I warmly welcome my noble friend to his role. I very much endorse the comments that have been made about the importance of tax relief for museums. Will the Government, as I hope they are already committed to do, consult with museums—including in my own region of the north-east, where this has been particularly helpful—before any further measures are considered?

[Lord Livermore (Lab)]

In drawing up future tax policy the Government will of course consult with all interested stakeholders.
