Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen O'Brien and Ronnie Campbell

Wednesday 26th October 2011 Commons Chamber

[Mr O’Brien]

My hon. Friend makes an important point. In addition to relieving the humanitarian crisis in Somalia, we must also recognise that resilience and the efforts to address food security as a strategic priority in the medium to long term underpin all our efforts, even in the humanitarian response, in Kenya and Uganda, where famine has not been declared. We have just heard from the Secretary of State about the efforts being made in Uganda.

[Mr Ronnie Campbell (Blyth Valley) (Lab)]
