CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAUX CLOSURES

Early day motion 1255, tabled 11 January 2011 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 48 members.

That this House applauds the magnificent work carried out by local citizens advice bureaux, their staff and volunteers throughout the UK who unstintingly give support and free advice to those in need of their services; and believes that the current economic recession will greatly increase the requirement for such help and that any Government actions which may thwart such worthy endeavours would be in direct contradiction to the concept of a Big Society.

Signatures by party: Labour 31, Liberal Democrat 7, DUP 4, Plaid Cymru 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Conservative 1.
