Shame on Iain Duncan Smith — he has presided over a system which has led to widespread hunger -Independent December 11, 2014 by Fulcrum That hunger “stalks large parts” of the country, to quote the Archbishop of Canterbury, is partly down to Iain Duncan Smith, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (DWP), which manages the welfare system. It is unusual to name a single individual as having some responsibility for a complex social problem. But the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Hunger and Food Poverty says in its report issued on Monday that “benefit-related problems were the single biggest reason given for food bank referrals by almost every food bank that presented evidence to us”.
