The Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme allows charities to claim a Gift Aid-style top up payment in circumstances where it is not practical, or feasible to collect a Gift Aid declaration. To be eligible, donations made under the scheme must be made and banked in the United Kingdom. Requiring donations to be collected and banked in the UK helps to guard against fraud, as well as ensuring that most donations are made by UK taxpayers.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4320", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Robert Jenrick"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newark"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Jenrick"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-06-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-06-08T09:34:53.967Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has made an assessment of the effect of restricting the gift aid small donations scheme (GASDS) on church donations made overseas by British visitors on UK registered church charities, such as St Andrews Church Kyrenia, and if he will take steps to review his Department's policy on GASDS church donations.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4481", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alex Chalk"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cheltenham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Alex Chalk"} ], "uin" : "147935"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/911224", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/911224/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The vast majority of PFI projects were signed under the last Labour government \u2013 620, or 86% of all PFI projects in the UK. Since coming to office in 2010, this Government has reformed the approach so that now, PF2 contracts deliver better value for money for the taxpayer.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have also improved the VfM we get from existing PFI contracts, and this will deliver over £2 billion in efficiencies over the remaining life of the contracts.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Treasury Green Book is clear that, to compare the costs and benefits that occur at different times between different projects, a discount rate must be applied to the cashflows. This is standard practice in all economic appraisals as it provides a Net Present Cost for the different projects, which enables a proper comparison of the costs and benefits occurring at different times on a consistent basis.<\/p>
<\/p>
The NAO report\u2019s finding that PF2 costs are around 40 per cent higher than similar projects financed by government borrowing is based on undiscounted cashflows and has not followed the Green Book guidance. It is not, therefore, an appropriate comparison.<\/p>
