Food Poverty (Eradication) Bill

EDM number 607 in 2001-02, proposed by Alan Simpson on 18/12/2001.

That this House notes the report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation published in 1999 that highlighted the fact that over four million people in the United Kingdom do not have access to healthy food, and the campaign on this issue launched on 14th November by Food Justice; notes too that this situation can be caused by a number of factors such as inadequate income, lack of reasonable access to shops or other outlets selling such food and inadequate information; and therefore supports the Food Poverty (Eradication) Bill which will require the drawing up and implementation of local and national strategies to end this problem.

This motion has been signed by a total of 215 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
