answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2020 answer text <p>I am aware of the strain that many charities are under during this time of financial uncertainty and increased demand on their services. On 8 April, the government announced a £750 million funding package for charities delivering frontline services. Unfortunately not all charities will be able to benefit from this, so they should also consider whether they are eligible for other existing government schemes, such as the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, the Self Employment Income Support Scheme, Business Interruption Loans and deferring VAT payments.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 05/05/2020 10:59:06 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>Some media reporting and public comments suggested that the picture together with the tag line was racist. In the answer I gave on 2 November 2016 to Question HL2682, it was acknowledged that this could have been open to misinterpretation. This is because such things are a matter of judgement and personal perception. Officials therefore decided that it should be removed, and an apology was issued for any offence which may have been caused.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 17/11/2016 16:21:46 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
