Motion text

That this House draws attention to the plight of the 1.02 billion people worldwide who suffer from chronic hunger on a daily basis as the 28th UN World Food Day is marked; notes with regret that the economic crisis has pushed some 100 million more people into chronic hunger and poverty in 2009, and continues to do so; re-affirms the UK's commitment to Millennium Development Goal 1 to halve the proportion of people who suffer from chronic hunger by 2015; urges the UK to take a lead at the upcoming UN World Summit on Food Security; and welcomes the forthcoming publication of the report by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Agriculture and Food for Development on the UK's role in tackling global food insecurity.
