    Cameron distances himself from Lord Freud's comments over food banks

    Former Work and Pensions Secretary David Blunkett condemned Lord Freud's words as inaccurate

    and insensitive

    David Cameron distanced himself today from comments by a minister questioning whether

    there was a link between the soaring use of food banks and cuts to benefit payments.

    As reported by The Independent, Lord Freud suggested more people were using the banks

    because more of them existed - and denied they were even part of the welfare system.

    Mr Cameron was challenged over the remarks by Stephen Timms, the shadow Employment

    Minister, during Prime Minister's Question Time.

    Mr Timms asked him: "There was demand for food banks from 30,000 households in the year

    before the general election, but the figure was 350,000 households last year.
