Poverty in the UK

On 11 December 2006, the Conservative Party’s Social Justice Policy Group (SJPG) published an interim report (Breakdown Britain) which offers a comprehensive survey of poverty in the UK by six SJPG policy sub-groups, which cover family breakdown, educational failure, drug and alcohol addiction, consumer indebtedness, economic dependency and the voluntary sector. Based on contributions from 600 poverty-fighters and academics across the country, as well as discussion and consultation with members of the public.
