PAYROLL CONTRIBUTION TO TSUNAMI APPEAL

Motion Text

That this House notes the concern of aid charities that funds will be more difficult to raise on a continuing basis after the initial publicity surrounding the disaster fades; welcomes the support of many workers and companies for the proposal to donate a days salary to the Tsunami appeal either in January or throughout the year; notes that such an initiative ensures a continuing flow of funding, attracts gift and relief aid and introduced more people to payroll giving; and further calls on the House authorities to make the facility available to honourable and Right honourable Members to allow them to participate in the continuing campaign in addition to their own existing contributions to constituency and national fundraising.
