Debate between David Crausby and Julie Hilling

Wednesday 17th April 2013 Commons Chamber

[The Temporary Chair (Mr David Crausby)]

For the information of the Committee, I intend to call the Minister at 9.30 pm.

[Julie Hilling (Bolton West) (Lab)]

Today has graphically demonstrated to me one of the real differences between the haves and have-nots in our society. I will not go into the rights and wrongs, but today we spent millions on Baroness Thatcher’s funeral, yet Jade Lomas-Anderson, the 14-year-old child killed by dogs in my constituency, still has not had her funeral, because her parents and the community are still frantically trying to raise enough money to pay for it.
