Chairman of the Council of Ministers International Development Committee Phil Gawne says he hopes Tynwald will back calls to put an end to world hunger.
Later this month, he’ll ask the court to back a motion praising the UK’s efforts to highlight the problem at a G8 summit later this month.
Mr Gawne says it’s an issue he’s keenly aware of and which deserves extra attention from the developed world.
But he says it remains a massive problem:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
But health body 'committed to openness and transparency'
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Opportunity to work at 'heart of Island’s constitutional and ceremonial life’
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Investigations continuing after incident which destroyed fire engine
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
Concerns over wind farm guidance issued to HoK candidates
