Poverty

As an amendment to motion S1M-03570 in the name of Mr Kenneth Gibson (Poverty), leave out from “deplores” to end and insert “recognises that poverty and vulnerability are still too widespread in 21st century Scotland, despite the fact that much material poverty has been alleviated, and believes that tackling modern forms of vulnerability requires policies that create wealth and provide economic opportunity and security for all, which can only happen within a framework of public order in which people have the security of strong families, communities and high quality public services.”
