Business question from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a topical debate on global food security? If the current harvests in the horn of Africa and east Africa fail, what is a crisis now will become a catastrophe in 2010. It would be sensible to have a debate to consider how the international community can ensure that the World Food Programme and other agencies have the contingency to prepare for what could well be an extremely difficult situation next year.
