CHARITIES

Early day motion 2963, tabled 17 April 2012 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 17 members.

That this House notes the benefits that tax relief for charities brings with special reference to gift aid; recognises the great work that charities carry out in helping people across the UK; understands that any reduction of the amount that can be given to a charity with tax relief would be detrimental to charities across the UK; and calls for there to be no adverse change to the arrangements as they currently stand allowing people to make donations as they see fit and are able.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, DUP 5, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Conservative 1.
