Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendment 175, in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, and my noble kinswoman Lady Boycott, seeks to introduce holiday meals and holiday activity programmes for pupils who receive free school meals. Free school meals provide targeted help to children in deprived areas. They allow pupils to eat good, nutritious food, which should be hugely encouraged. That same provision during the school holidays ought to be thoroughly investigated.
