Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I agree with the Minister of State. The problem concerning food price increases is not necessarily on the supply side. The same level of supply exists but the demand has diversified from the biofuels sector and there has also been an increase in demand. I am not saying that the Tanzanian Government is not seeking to address corruption. I would expect that it would do so. This is an issue that may be addressed at a later stage on the Order Paper. I would like money to be moved to the World Food Programme, as it is a worthwhile project. I ask the Minister of State to consider doing that.
