Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I began by discussing free breakfast clubs in schools and have acknowledged the value of food and activities for the well-being of children. This does not stop in school holidays. Turning to Amendment 175 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, I can assure her that the highly regarded programme will continue to receive the support of the Government, who remain committed to the holiday activities and food programme, having this year allocated more than £200 million to it.
