Section 5 of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993

Debate between David Linden and Colin Clark

Tuesday 26th March 2019 Commons Chamber

[Colin Clark]

We are the party of optimism and, on the subject of optimism, I will let a pessimist speak up.

[David Linden (Glasgow East) (SNP)]

The hon. Gentleman spoke earlier about the UK’s high ranking in Forbes magazine. Can he tell us how the UK rates on food bank usage?

[Colin Clark]

That is the difference between the hon. Gentleman and me, because I consider the fact there are food banks to support people to be an example of charitableness. I want to celebrate the success of this country, not the failure, and it is the Conservative party that will make sure this country is a success.
