Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Tackling Poverty in the UK.


Tackling Poverty in the UK

Is the hon. Lady aware of early-day motions 61 and 62? The first is on the Joseph Rowntree Foundation audit of poverty, which shows that poverty is at the same level as it was in 2000. The second is on a study by the Fabian Society and the Webb Memorial Trust, which shows that 20% of the population lives in poverty. Is that really a triumph of new Labour's 13 years?
