The particular tax arrangements for the company concerned date from an agreement reached in 1959, a copy of which agreement was laid before the House at the time. The scope and status of the agreement was covered in full by the Committee of Public Accounts in its 2001 report on the appropriation accounts, etc. I refer the Deputy to paragraphs 4.9 to 4.13 on pages 45 and 46 of the report.
