Question

What steps he is taking to implement the national food strategy? My constituency has high expectations for this initiative, particularly in addressing holiday hunger among deprived communities. Would she consider visiting Blackpool to see how these recommendations could be beneficial?

Answer from Victoria Prentis (Minister of State for Food, Farming and Countryside Affairs)

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I would be delighted to visit his constituency, where I have fond memories of at least one family holiday as a child. A Greggs pasty will be just great.
