My MP wrote back to me regarding my letter. Here’s what he said:
Dear Mr Lowry,
Thank you for your recent email regarding your novel suggestion for how to use the gift aid system to the benefit of society. It is good to hear from you again.
I do not know if this would be allowed under the system but I am certainly happy to write to the Minister responsible for charities, Mr Nick Hurd MP, Minister for Civil Society, to ask if his Department is able to shed any light on the matter.
I will also ask him to provide any general information he can about the proposed changes to the gift aid system.
I hope this will be of assistance and, as always, as soon as I receive a response I will be in touch to pass it on to you straight away.
Thank you again for taking the time to write to me.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Menzies [signed]
Member for Parliament for Fylde
So! Wait and see 🙂
