FUTURE OF FOODBANKS

Tabled by Mr Jim Cunningham (Labour) 26 signatures

The motion

That this House notes that a growing number of people are becoming reliant on foodbanks across many areas of the country; condemns the institutionalisation of foodbanks in the UK; and urges the Government to tackle low paying jobs and carry out an urgent review of universal credit and if the Government cannot perform a review, it should be replaced by a fair benefits system.
