Lib. Dem. MP Laws defends free school meals

by danielbarker on 22 August, 2014

David Laws MP writes to the Independent to defend the government’s free school meals scheme. “Pilots of this policy show that school lunches for all infant children will help improve their education, save parents money and make sure more children eat a nutritious meal at least once a day,” he states. Mr Laws also claims that suggestions the government is not offering enough financial support to local councils are incorrect, pointing out that schools have received £150m to improve catering facilities in addition to other funding.
