Proceeding contribution from Charlotte Atkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Third Sector Review.


Third Sector Review

The Government's partnership with the third sector is a success story, as we have backed up our policies with proper state funding to enable the voluntary sector to flourish. Total public funding has doubled from less than £5 billion in 1997 to more than £10 billion in 2005. Gift aid is now worth £750 million a year to charities, up from just £100 million in 1997—so much for the Opposition's commitment to gift aid.
