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.
