27 Jun 2014

That the Parliament notes the recent reported comments by David Mundell MP in which he admitted that individuals and families have been forced to make use of foodbanks because they have been subject to sanctions or delays in receiving benefits; hopes that Mr Mundell’s comments will help lead to a change of direction in the UK Government’s welfare policy, and calls on the UK Government to urgently act on the fact that 22,387 children in Scotland are reported to now rely on foodbank usage.
