Get Fair Coalition And Poverty In The UK

EDM number 1529 in 2008-09, proposed by John Battle on 19/05/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Incomes and poverty.

That this House believes that as the fifth largest economy in the world it is unacceptable that 12.8 million people, 1 in 5 of the population, are living in poverty in the UK; further believes that with the economy in recession and rising unemployment, the Government must commit to further measures to protect the poorest in society; and supports calls by the Get Fair Coalition of charities, faith and community groups for the Government to increase levels of income to a minimum living standard for a lasting reduction in poverty in the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 95 MPs.
