The rational free market economists, nappy-trained on Milton Friedman and Margaret Thatcher, say the popular system of paying a bonus to producers in poor countries and guaranteeing them an above-market price for their produce, helps only a very small number of farmers, ...

I am not surprised by his lack of enthusiasm and you can guarantee the first thing he did was run this by his Lib Dem master Protheroe, to concoct deflection, ensuring this important issue remains sidelined.
