Finance (No. 4) Bill

I wonder whether the hon. Gentleman would mind reflecting on the situation of the Greggs Foundation, in the north-east of England, which puts significant money, through charitable donations, into youth services and children's breakfast clubs. If the pasty tax hits home and Greggs' profits fall—we have already seen a significant reduction in the share price—those charitable donations may dry up. Is that a concern of his?
