CITIZEN ADVICE IN TOO DEEP REPORT

Early day motion 1446, tabled 19 June 2003 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 59 members.

That this House congratulates the organisation Citizens' Advice for its production and publication of the Report, In Too Deep, which exposed the impact of debt on thousands of its clients; notes that the report found that whilst there is a wide range of governmental and other initiatives which attempt to tackle debt they are not sufficiently co-ordinated or effective enough to tackle the scale of the problem; and calls upon the Government to conduct immediately the range of crosscutting reviews suggested by the Report so as to develop the strategies necessary to find solutions to these serious problems.
