Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department plans to streamline the process of making voluntary contributions to the Government.

Individuals can make a voluntary contribution to the Government for the purposes of public spending or reducing the National Debt. Individuals can arrange a direct bank transfer to HM Treasury for donations in general towards public expenditure or can make a contribution to the Donations and Bequests account in the form of cash or UK government securities for reducing the National Debt. There are no plans to change the process for making a voluntary contribution, as it is clearly set out in guidelines published by the Debt Management Office.
