As of this morning, however, only 27 out of 350 licensed premises in South Shropshire and approximately 10 per cent. of those in Bridgnorth district council have submitted application forms. Does the Minister agree that the...

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Clause 11 — Donations to charity by individuals (13 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: I support amendments Nos. 36 and 1. In common with many other Members, I declare an interest as a member of the National Trust—I am a life member—and I am expecting to become a trustee of the Ludlow Town Walls trust. I am also a member of the Hereford Cathedral Perpetual Trust. I support the remarks of my hon. Friend the Member for Rayleigh (Mr. Francois) on amendment No. 36, but ask the...

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Clause 11 — Donations to charity by individuals (13 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: To answer on behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for Wimbledon, I think that the word "accompany" is useful in assisting the hon. Lady with her point. A group leader pays on behalf of all its members precisely to avoid the need for up to 20 other people to form part of the queue. That is very sensible. I also wish to refer to the Broseley Conservative Association, because I am particularly...

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Clause 11 — Donations to charity by individuals (13 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: I have another interest to declare in that I am a director of a bookshop, and I hope that I can help the hon. Gentleman in dealing with his point on national museums. The company that I am involved in operates the concession in the Science museum. When admission fees were abolished, the bookshop's revenue increased, I am delighted to say. In the interests of commercial sensitivity, I shall...

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Clause 11 — Donations to charity by individuals (13 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: The Mappa Mundi has featured prominently in our debate. It is a map, and maps are not necessarily categorised as works as art. The chained library primarily contains books, which are not necessarily works of art. It is therefore not clear that the terms "artefacts" and "works of art" are sufficient, which is why I asked the Minister for clarity.

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Clause 11 — Donations to charity by individuals (13 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: Will the Economic Secretary quantify how many charities are likely to be affected positively or negatively by the proposals?

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Schedule 8 — Financing of companies etc: transfer pricing and loan relationships (13 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: I support the amendment moved by my hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr. Hammond), and echo some of the comments that have already been made by my hon. Friends about the importance of the private equity industry to the economy. I should—probably to the amusement of the Minister—declare another interest, in that I am the director of a venture capital trust that is...

Orders of the Day — National Lottery Bill (14 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: I am pleased to contribute to the debate on this important issue. It is important because in my constituency and neighbouring constituencies that I am aware of, the lottery has been the main facilitator of numerous community-based projects that have been completed since it was so successfully introduced by the last Conservative Government. Other Members have mentioned multi-million pound...

Orders of the Day — National Lottery Bill (14 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: Perhaps the Minister can explain.

Orders of the Day — National Lottery Bill (14 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: I thank the Minister. In that case, it seems more likely that applications will have to be made to two distributors to achieve the same level of funding for the projects to which I have referred. I am especially concerned about the lottery's impact on major restorations of heritage monuments and features, for example, the Teme Weirs trust in Ludlow and the pending restoration of Ludlow's town...

Philip Dunne: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many prisoners are registered on prison education programmes.

NHS Dentistry and Primary Health Care (29 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: The picture that the hon. Lady paints of Plymouth is much more encouraging than the picture in my constituency, where the direction of travel, far from being positive, is the reverse. To pick up on the comments of my hon. Friend the Member for Mole Valley (Sir Paul Beresford), there is a brain drain to Australia rather than to the UK. When I was knocking on doors just before the election, I...

Fallen Livestock (29 Jun 2005)

Philip Dunne: I should declare that I have an interest in a farming partnership in my constituency. I echo the hon. Gentleman's comments about collection times in remote rural areas. My constituency borders that of the hon. Member for Brecon and Radnorshire (Mr. Williams). During the election, I stood across the valley looking into his beautiful constituency and discussed with farmers during the lambing...
