LUNCHEON CLUBS

Early day motion 1338, tabled 25 January 2011 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House notes that luncheon clubs are both affordable and accessible; recognises that they serve as a space for the gathering and strengthening of communities; is therefore concerned about the proposed Nottinghamshire County Council cut to all funding of transport to luncheon clubs; condemns the Council's decision to raise the cost of the meals they provide; and strongly urges the Government and local authorities to reconsider such cuts, as they will cripple these community centres.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, DUP 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
