Proceeding contribution from James Paice (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Food Security.
Food Security
I am very grateful to the Secretary of State, not least for the way in which he is addressing the subject. He rightly said earlier that I was not calling for protectionism, but does he also accept that I was not calling for self-sufficiency either? I specifically used the phrase ““food security””, which I defined as the capacity to produce the majority of our needs. We have never been fully self-sufficient and nobody is asking us to be.
