Free School Meals For Children (EDM518)

Free School Meals For Children

EDM number 518 in 2015-16, proposed by Alan Meale on 14/10/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families, Food and Schools.

That this House is aware that providing children with a nutritious lunch is crucial for their early learning development which helps them take the opportunity to excel at school; recalls that the Chancellor recognised this before the last General Election with the promise to protect free school meals for infants; and is therefore alarmed to hear that he is now seriously considering reneging on this commitment by announcing a cut in this essential provision from any future Government subsidy considerations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
