World Food Programme

Lord Beaumont of Whitley asked Her Majesty's Government:

Baroness Crawley: The UK Government, with other donors, are in close contact with the World Food Programme (WFP) on the rise in global food prices. We assess our humanitarian contributions on the basis of need and we will take account of higher food procurement and delivery costs when considering our response to new appeals. With regard to existing programmes, WFP is conducting country-specific analyses and we will consider whether additional contributions might be appropriate when the results are available.
