Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
That is a matter for the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Budget statement. I very much support my hon. Friend's intention, but he must roll the pitch a little if he wants to develop the argument for an opt-out system for CAF giving. It would mean that everyone would have to give a certain amount, presumably fixed by the Chancellor, which would be deducted from their pay packet. I wholly support giving, but the proposal would transform what is currently a predominantly voluntary system to one that people would have to opt out of. I think it requires a little more thought.
