<p>Neither my Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State, nor I have had discussions with
charities about the impact of these rules on their work.</p><p>The State aid rules
apply to funding given to charities, as they would for any other body, where they
are involved in economic activities. The rules are blind as to legal form; rather
they are concerned with whether an entity is undertaking economic activities. And
equally State aid may be granted legally to charities on the same terms as anyone
else if it complies with the rules.</p>
