Covid-19: Furloughed Space Grant Scheme

Lord Mann Excerpts

Monday 15th June 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Penn]

I can happily make a commitment to my noble friend to take that back. My understanding is that local councils have also been given money to fund additional discretionary grants to address those kinds of gaps, but I will take her specific examples back to the Treasury.

[Lord Mann (Non-Afl) [V]]

My Lords, will the Minister ensure that no additional taxpayers’ money finds its way into the pockets of commercial landlords who hold their entities offshore to avoid paying UK tax?

[Baroness Penn]

Our approach to commercial landlords and commercial tenants is to support the code of practice being developed so that between the two of them, they can resolve payment structures and solutions that work for both of them.
