Impact Of Gift Aid Changes On Conservation And Heritage Charities
EDM number 727 in 2003-04, proposed by John Barrett on 01/03/2004.
That this House notes with concern the Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposals to change the law on Gift Aid, ending the existing ability of conservation and heritage charities to claim Gift Aid on day memberships; recognises that Gift Aid can account for up to 20 per cent. of some charity admission incomes and believes the Treasury proposals could have a serious and negative impact on these charities financially, putting into jeopardy many charity development plans and, in some cases, the ability of some charities to continue; and therefore calls on the Chancellor to recognise the potential damage of the proposals on such charities across the UK by announcing a reversal in his plans in his March Budget statement.
This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs.
