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
I accept the point and in asking the question—others have raised it, and I was not attributing that view to the hon. Gentleman—I think it important that we have thought through exactly the argument that he has put, so that we can answer it in relation to those who do say, ““Should we not aim to be self-sufficient?”” Then, we can get on to discussing what we mean by food security and what the right policies are.
