CHRISTIANS AGAINST POVERTY

Early day motion 1048, tabled 5 February 2014 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 35 members.

That this House notes the excellent ongoing work carried out by groups such as Christians Against Poverty, helping individuals and families who have found themselves in deep financial and emotional difficulties, offering help, hope and guidance for thousands, some of whom have contemplated suicide; and commends the work of so many volunteer counsellors in offering financial, emotional and spiritual assistance to many whose debt had become unmanageable.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, DUP 6, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 4, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Alliance 1, Independent 1.
