Oral Answers to Questions

David Mundell Excerpts

Tuesday 22nd October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Hamish Falconer]

I refer my hon. Friend to my previous answer. I will also write to him with further details of what we will do.

[David Mundell (Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale) (Con)]

We are experiencing a global hunger crisis, exacerbated by ongoing conflicts and climate change. That makes the forthcoming Paris Nutrition for Growth conference even more important. What preparations are the Government making for an effective contribution to the summit?

[Anneliese Dodds]

The right hon. Gentleman is absolutely right to raise that point. We are preparing at pace for that Paris conference, which is incredibly important. We need to do all we can to secure access to the food required, and it must be nutritious, healthy food. In addition, the UK is preparing to sign up to the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty—something that I committed the UK to doing in Brazil just a few weeks ago.
