Whether MPs donate through workplace giving

Request

To help with a possible campaign to get more MPs to give via the Workplace I wondered if you could confirm that the scheme is in place and with CAF because CAF say they don’t have a contract with IPSA.

Also could you very kindly let me know how many MPs give via the Workplace following the election?


Response

You specifically requested confirmation as to whether IPSA operated a Workplace scheme with CAF and the number of MPs who donate through the Workplace scheme. I can confirm that IPSA holds the requested information.

In response to the first part of your request I understand that confirmation was previously given to you advising that IPSA has a contract in place with CAF.

With regards to the second part of your request I can confirm that 5 MPs donate through the Workplace scheme.
