Trussell Trust data shows that 88,379 emergency food parcels were provided in London between April to September 2019 ( https://www.trusselltrust.org/news-and-blog/latest-stats/mid-year-stats/ ). This suggests the year on year increase in food parcel provision since 2012/13 will continue in 2019. Do you agree that an increasing reliance on food parcels marks a failure of government policy?
