A Nottinghamshire MP claims poverty-hit Brits who use food banks "cannot budget" and "cannot cook properly". Speaking in the Commons during a debate on the Queen's Speech, he claimed people could "cook meals from scratch" for "30p a day" instead.
Conservative Lee Anderson said there is a "brilliant scheme" at the foodbank in his constituency in Ashfield. He said: "When people come now for a food parcel, they've got to register for a budgeting course and a cooking course, reports the Daily Mirror.
"And what we do at the food bank, we show them how to cook cheap and nutritious meals on a budget. We can make a meal for around 30p a day and this is cooking from scratch."
