YORK, England, Dec. 13 -- The Joseph Rowntree Foundation issued the following statement by CEO Campbell Robb on the Scottish draft Budget:
"The Scottish Government is right to make tackling poverty a top priority. It is unacceptable that one million people in Scotland are trapped in poverty. The proposals outlined in today's draft Budget show a willingness to act. However, current reforms fall significantly short of the bold action we need to solve poverty in Scotland.
