Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mitchell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Aid Reviews.
Aid Reviews
The hon. Gentleman will have heard the contrast between what I said about the Food and Agriculture Organisation, which has been placed in a form of special measures, and the World Food Programme, which is doing extremely well under the leadership of Josette Sheeran. We would probably have pulled out of the FAO but it is about to recruit a new director and we want to work with that new director to ensure that the FAO becomes a much more effective organisation. I completely endorse what the hon. Gentleman says about the importance of my Department's focus on farming and agriculture.
