And if the government were to pull funding, is Mordaunt intellegent enough to put in place withing 1 hour an entire distribution infrastructure, transfer all the staff and volunteer support systems so that workers get paid and volunteers are fully supported in their roles, will the government match the money already donated by the public to Oxfam at zero cost to the tax payer, ie out of the pockets of their party supporters to this alternative charty/NGO that will be fully up and running in 60 minutes?


Oxfam retain financial reserves so that there would be no need to put in fresh infrastructure as an emergency matter. They aim to retain 'reserves' of 25 million pounds. Their accounts can be seen here: Latest annual accounts fortunately Oxfam appear to be well organised financially.
