Text
I thank the Member for her intervention. Yes, that is something that definitely needs to be looked at over time. Every week that we delay is another week that a family goes without support, that another school term begins with financial strain and that another child feels different, singled out or excluded because they cannot afford the branded items that others take for granted. That is not what the Assembly or we as Members should stand for. We should stand for fairness, inclusion and practical solutions to everyday problems.
