It is a great pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Hollobone. I congratulate the hon. Member for Liverpool, West Derby (Ian Byrne) on securing such an important debate and express my thanks to all those who have kept the nation fed during the pandemic, including the community fridges in Banbury and FareShare. The Government set up a cross-Whitehall ministerial taskforce to ensure food and essential supplies reached the vulnerable during the pandemic, relaxing competition laws and drivers' hours as necessary. In response to Henry Dimbleby's interim report, published in July, we have made a firm commitment to publish a food White Paper within six months of his final report due next spring. We have also reduced the minimum frequency of reporting on food security from five to three years under clause 19 of the Agriculture Bill. To ease financial burdens during the pandemic, the Government introduced income protection schemes, mortgage holidays, and additional support for renters, injecting approximately £9 billion into the welfare system. Through wholesaler partners, we delivered 4.5 million boxes of essential food to vulnerable people identified by the NHS as particularly vulnerable in March. We also provided an additional £63 million-worth of food for local authorities in England targeting those who need it most. The Government will carefully consider recommendations from the new child food poverty taskforce established by Marcus Rashford as we approach the next spending review.
