Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2026
Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
Amendment 113, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, seeks to establish a school food improvement scheme. I recognise the importance of these reforms and the work that the noble Baroness has done to elevate the profile of childhood nutrition. We agree that it is vital that the food children receive throughout the school day is tasty and nutritious. We are committed to raising the healthiest generation ever and are continuing our work to revise the school food standards. We are engaging experts across the sector and developing our plans to consult on the changes later in the year. Depending on the timing, as the noble Baroness says, I feel sure that my honourable friend, Minister Olivia Bailey, would be more than keen to work with the all-party parliamentary group as well.
