answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2022 answer text <p>Food insecurity in developing countries caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a critical global issue. The UK-led action at the World Trade Organization (WTO) committed members to ensuring open and predictable trade and the continued free flow of food. This action has now been endorsed by fifty-four other members. We have placed priority on guaranteeing that the World Food Programme is unhindered by export restrictions, allowing it to best use its funding. We aim to build on this at the WTO’s 12<sup>th</sup> Ministerial Conference in June, urging Members to create a more sustainable, efficient and resilient global food system.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 19/05/2022 14:09:00 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
