Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

School lunches and breakfasts are important components of children’s diets, and the provision of free school meals is one of the most effective levers available to government to ensure that poorer children get at least one—or two, with breakfast—healthy and adequate meal every school day, with similar arrangements in holidays. There is another amendment, about holiday meals, which I support.
