London's Poverty Profile welcomed

London's Poverty Profile was warmly welcomed at its launch on 19 May by the Minister for London and Minister of State for Employment & Welfare Reform, Tony McNulty MP, and Anthony Browne, Policy Director for the Mayor of London.

Anthony Browne described it as 'the best produced and best researched report by a thinktank in a very long time'. The Minister expressed the hope that the Profile would help to raise national awareness of the real deprivation within the capital.
