Business of the House

As my hon. Friend the shadow Leader of the House asked earlier, and as I have repeatedly requested, may we have an urgent debate in Government time on trade justice and freer trade? Given that meeting the millennium development goals on reducing maternal mortality and child mortality will cost $6 billion a year and that the richest nations on earth subsidise their agriculture to the tune of $6 billion a week, does the Leader of the House agree that a debate in the House would allow colleagues to argue passionately—as I certainly would, if I caught your eye, Mr. Speaker—that reforming wholesale the socialist subsidy system in international trade is not only fiscally desirable but morally imperative?
