FAREPAK RESPONSE FUND

That this House notes the many generous contributions to the Farepack Response Fund from individuals, communities and some financial institutions who have recognised that Christmas has been ruined for hundreds of thousands of people throughout the United Kingdom; believes that there is still time for further contributions to be made; hopes that this Fund continues to grow but recognises it is a good way short of the total lost by families caught up in the Farepak collapse; believes it is now time for the Government to do its bit and show the same type of generosity and big heartedness; and further believes that the Government should match-fund the total secured in the relief fund and hopes that this would act as an incentive to businesses and other financial institutions.
