Proceeding contribution from Baroness Berger (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 December 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Food Poverty.


Food Poverty

I thank my hon. Friend for his intervention, which I am sure is the first of many that will share personal stories about people’s experiences. I called for the debate because it is a national scandal that

in the 21st century, in one of the world’s most industrialised nations, there is an explosion in food poverty and the creation of food banks. That is why I and many other hon. Members have raised the matter in Parliament, and will continue to do so.
