Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much gift aid was claimed by fundraising platforms through fees in each of the last five years.

The information requested on gift aid claimed by fundraising platforms on behalf of charities, is not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Charities gift aid data cannot be readily broken down to identify such a group of charities, or to identify specific fundraising methods.
