MP Alan Duncan says anti-hunger demonstrators were in wrong place
An MP whose constituency office was the centre of a demonstration by activists calling for action on hunger says he was in his Whitehall ministerial office working on the issue at the time.
Around a dozen activists from the Enough Food for Everyone IF campaign gathered outside Rutland and Melton MP Alan Duncan’s office in High Street, Melton, on Tuesday.
