Suppressed report: welfare reform link to homelessness and food bank use
A Tory council has withdrawn its own official report linking welfare cuts to a range of social problems from food poverty to violent crime.
Now you see it now you don't. No sooner had Kent Online reported the details of an official Kent county council report linking welfare reform to rises in homelessness, food bank use and violent crime, than the report was suppressed.
Council leader Paul Carter, whose name was apparently on the report even though he hadn't read it, told Kent Messenger Group political editor Paul Francis that he had he decided to take it down from the council website because he did not agree with its conclusions.
So what was it about the report's findings that Carter found so disagreeable?
