Spending Review 2025Contribution
Because of decisions that we made in this spending review, last week, this Government, working with my right honourable friend the Education Secretary, announced that free school meals will be extended to over half a million more children. That policy alone will lift 100,000 children out of poverty—children in schools from Tower Hamlets to Sunderland, and from Swansea to Bridgend.
