Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Alyn Smith (Scottish National Party), on Thursday, 8 July 2021, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 17 members in total.


Nutrition aid

That this House urges the Government to recognise the importance of investment in nutrition to support its aims for girls’ education; notes that impacts of malnutrition are particularly heavy on women and girls and that cases of anaemia, stunting and malnutrition are correlated with poor school performance; stresses that the UK was previously considered a leader in combatting malnutrition and now risks undermining its international reputation in addition to putting millions of lives at risk; and calls on the Government to incorporate nutrition aid into its focus area of girls education.
