School Meals And Nutrition

EDM number 669 in 2004-05, proposed by Geraint Davies on 07/02/2005.

That this House is concerned at poor nutrition in school meals highlighted by a recent Barnardo's report; notes that, of all the school meals examined in the preparation of this report by a qualified nutritionist from the Food Commission, none met nutritional guidelines; further notes that the School Meals and Nutrition Bill introduced by the honourable Member for Croydon Central, with cross party support, will require that schools provide only healthy options to children; further notes that the nutritional quality of school meals would be the subject of inspection and reporting under the provisions of the School Meals and Nutrition Bill; and therefore urges the Government to ensure that time can be found for the Bill to be debated.

This motion has been signed by a total of 132 MPs.
