Early day motion 1030, tabled 26 October 2026 by Ian Byrne (Labour). Signed by 11 members.

That this House welcomes the final report published by the Right to Food UK Commission titled A Roadmap to Delivering Food Security to All by 2035; recognises the Commission’s vital role in exposing the scale and causes of food poverty and hunger in the UK, having collected evidence from policy experts, civil society organisations and those with lived experience of food insecurity; thanks the Commissioners and all who gave evidence to the Commission in Liverpool, Knowsley, Newcastle, Ashington, Cardiff, Aberdare, Glasgow, Belfast, London and beyond; supports the Commission highlighting the unacceptable normalisation of food insecurity and identification of practical, long-term solutions; endorses the Commission’s evidence-based roadmap to develop comprehensive and enforceable Right to Food legislation grounded in the five core demands of universal free school meals, transparency on food costs, an independent regulatory body, funding for community kitchens, and legally guaranteed food security; and urges the Government to adopt the findings of the report and include a Right to Food in the next King’s Speech, as a clear route to ending food poverty and delivering food security to all by 2035.
