Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to help improve access to affordable food.

This Government is committed to ensuring everyone can access healthy, affordable food. That is why I announced the Good Food Neighbourhoods programme last month. This £10 million fund will support those communities in greatest need, to access healthier, more affordable food – giving people the room to breathe on the cost of living.
