Scottish National Party — Aberdeen North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 June 2025

Debate

Child Poverty and No Recourse to Public Funds

Contribution

Some people will always fall through the cracks, but it feels as if this is a system-wide problem, rather than just a couple of individuals falling through some cracks.
