Scotland Demands Better campaign

Tabled by Maureen Burke (Labour) 6 signatures

The motion

That this House supports the Scotland Demands Better campaign led by the Poverty Alliance which calls for an end to poverty in Scotland; notes that people, communities and organisations will gather in Edinburgh on 25 October to urge elected members of all parties to deliver better jobs, better social security and better investment in life’s essentials; recognises that the campaign is a response to high rates of poverty, with one in five people living in poverty in Scotland, rising to almost one in four children; and commends the campaign’s aims of ending hunger, insecurity and poverty in Scotland.
