Written Question
Royal British Legion: Energy
Tuesday 22nd March 2022

Asked by: Jamie Stone (Liberal Democrat - Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what support the Government plans to provide to branches of the British Legion facing financial difficulties as a result of increases in energy costs.

Answered by Leo Docherty

The Government works closely with the Royal British Legion, which makes an enormous contribution to the lives of veterans and their families. While there are no plans to provide funding to branches of the Royal British Legion in relation to energy costs, all charities pay VAT at a reduced rate (5%) and are excluded from the Climate Change Levy for qualifying energy use.
