Amendment 190 addresses the quality of school meals for all children, both free and paid for, and provides for a review of the nutritional standards of the foods provided in schools, including breakfasts, to bring them in line with the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition’s advice on free sugars and fibre content. That was promised in 2020, but it did not happen then. However, I am delighted to acknowledge that, on 10 June, the Minister in the Department for Education announced that the review will happen at last—hurrah. This review was one of the recommendations of the Food, Diet and Obesity Committee, which I chaired, and I know that all former committee members will welcome it as I do.
