Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendment 189, in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, would require the department to regularly review and publish data connected to free school meals. I assure noble Lords that, from 2026, when the criteria change, we will want to monitor the take-up of free school meals. I am sure that that will enable us to get into some of the details that the noble Baroness talked about in her introduction to this amendment.
