In response a DFID spokesperson said:

"We share Oxfam's concern that so many people go to bed hungry around the world every night. The coalition government is committed to ending world hunger, which is why earlier this year we hosted the hunger summit to push for faster global action to end malnutrition.

"We will continue to push the international community for concerted action to bring food security across the developing world."
