Publication Of Defra Review On Food Aid Provision In The UK

EDM number 928 in 2013-14, proposed by Frank Field on 09/01/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Farmers and Food.

That this House acknowledges that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs commissioned an evidence review entitled, Household food security - a literature review of Food Aid, in March 2013 to assess and summarise evidence about food aid provision in the UK; notes the Government's commitment to this House to publish the findings of the review by the summer of 2013; further notes the Government's failure to publish the findings of the review despite a formal request from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Hunger and Food Poverty in December 2013; and urges the Government to provide a clear deadline as a matter of urgency for the publication of the review to inform a public debate on the reasons for growing demand for food aid provision in this country.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
