That this House registers its dismay that a study by the Fabian Society and the Webb Memorial Trust shows that 20 per cent. of the population is living in poverty; notes with deep concern the comment of Mr Tim Horton, Research Director for the Fabian Society, that inequality in Britain today, on some measures, is at its highest since the early 1960s; congratulates the Fabian Society and Webb Memorial Trust on their report The Solidarity Society, which is the result of a two-year study; and urges the Government to purse policies to eradicate poverty and promote equality.
