Commons ChamberT8. The British Government are leading the response to the famine in east Africa. Will the Minister update the House on the Department’s work in this area?
My hon. Friend is absolutely right to speak about east Africa, where there is one of the four famines that the world faces this year. In east Africa specifically, we have led the way in humanitarian and emergency food assistance and helped more than 2.4 million people.
