People's Assembly Against Austerity March

EDM number 149 in 2015-16, proposed by Richard Burgon on 17/06/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Economic situation, Incomes and poverty and Economic policy.

That this House notes evidence that the Government's economic strategy of austerity pursued since 2010 has seen a significant transfer of wealth from the least well-off to the more affluent; further notes the policy has had a disproportionately negative impact on the most disadvantaged areas; believes that this has contributed to increased inequality and impoverishment in society; welcomes contributions to the public debate advocating a positive economic alternative; and congratulates the organisation of the People's Assembly Against Austerity march to Parliament Square in London, as well as a simultaneous march in Glasgow, on 20 June, both of which will be a democratic expression of the desire for that alternative.

This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs.
