Statement Of The Prime Minister On Poverty

EDM number 809 in 1991-92, proposed by Brian Wilson on 04/03/1992.

That this House notes with astonishment the words used by the Prime Minister 'Poverty, what poverty?' in an interview with the Glasgow Herald; and regrets to conclude that these sentiments are wholly compatible with the outlook of a man who was also the architect of the Social Fund.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
