The three Whitehall buildings were transferred to the 200million Islamic bond scheme, which switched their ownership from British taxpayers to wealthyMiddle Eastern businessmen and banks. George Osborne announced the move in June 2014 as part of an effort to make the UK a global hub for Islamic finance. But critics say the scheme would waste money and could undermine Britain's financial and legal systems by imposing Sharia law onto government premises. |

The bonds known as Sukuk are only available for purchase by Islamic investors. The money raised will be repayable from 2019. But instead of interest, bond-buyers will earn rental income from the Government offices because interest payments are banned in Sharia law. The Treasury agreed to make the Sukuk fully compliant with Sharia law to ensure investors were not put off investing in the scheme, meaning each of the buildings used to finance the products must meet the terms of Sharia law, including the ban on alcohol. |
