§ Mrs. LaitTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what has been the net change in each year since May 1997 in the number of forms issued by his Department which(a) charities and (b) other voluntary organisations are required to complete. [123951]
§ Dr. MoonieTo the best of my knowledge, the Ministry of Defence has no requirement to issue any forms for completion by charities and other voluntary organisations in relation to their charitable functions. However, the Department purchases services from a number of charities, and some forms may need to be completed, for example for invoicing purposes.
