§ 49. Mr. ThurnhamTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what sum is currently given per capita in donations to overseas aid charities; and what was the equivalent sum in donations in 1979.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThere is no Government record of the public's donations to voluntary agencies for work overseas. However, each major agency publishes an434W annual report and accounts. It is clear that voluntary giving for overseas aid agencies has increased substantially since 1979.
