On the 14th of December 2023 Barry asked the Leader of the House, Penny Mordaunt, to join him in thanking food banks for all the work they do. In particular mentioning the amazing support that the London Community Kitchen and the Sufra Food Bank provides the Brent community.
Barry called on Penny Mordaunt to host a debate in the new year, not just to praise food banks but to make them “redundant”.
