Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities (Recession).

Rural Communities (Recession)

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for being so generous. I agree with him about the importance of farming and farming communities. I am a little disappointed that neither the motion nor the amendment says anything about food security, which is vital for our country as well as rural communities, for example, to ensure employment and housing so that agricultural workers can live and work in those communities. Will the hon. Gentleman say something about food security for our country?
