Funeral Poverty

Proceeding contribution from Chris Stephens (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 September 2018. It occurred during Debate on Funeral Poverty.

The hon. Lady is making very important points about the social fund funeral payment system. Does she agree that it not only is confusing but adds considerable emotional stress for those going through the system if they wait so long for a decision as to whether they will get money, bearing in mind that the grant itself does not even meet some of the basic costs of a cremation, for example?
