Motion text
That this House welcomes the establishment of the Right To Food UK Commission, launched in Parliament in November 2025, to produce an evidence-based roadmap for Right To Food legislation by Autumn 2026; recognises the Commission’s vital role in exposing the scale and causes of food poverty and hunger in the UK; supports its work to highlight the unacceptable normalisation of food insecurity and to identify practical, long-term solutions; urges the Commission to provide the Government, devolved administrations and policy makers with a clear route to ending food poverty; endorses the Commission’s development of comprehensive and enforceable Right To Food legislation grounded in the Right To Food Campaign’s five core demands of universal free school meals, transparency on food costs, an independent regulatory body, funding for community kitchens, and legally guaranteed food security; and wishes the Commission well as it begins its community-led, evidence-gathering sessions across all four nations, starting in Liverpool and continuing in Newcastle, Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff, and London.
