Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I turn briefly to the quality of ingredients and nutritional standards, which others have touched on. At the moment, the national school breakfast scheme provides substantial support to schools with 40% or more pupils in income deprivation affecting children bands A to F and pays for 75% of the food cost. What happens to this scheme in future, and how does that eligibility dovetail with the aims of the Bill? I understand that the scheme runs out shortly, but perhaps the Minister can tell me if that is not the case.
