A Bill to extend eligibility for free school meals to all children in state primary schools; and for connected purposes.
This bill would extend free school meals to every child in state primary schools, rather than only those who qualify through income-based criteria. It aims to provide universal free meals at primary level and would require changes to funding and the way the meals programme is run.
Status: Second Reading in the House of Commons. If passed, it would move on to committee stage for detailed examination.
