Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Food Security.


Food Security

Part of the answer to the question that was raised earlier is that we need an open global trading system and an end to the distorting subsidies.
