More primary school children should receive free school meals
Should more children in primary schools receive free school meals?
Green Party We would continue the school Fruit and Vegetable Scheme, with a strong preference for organic and local produce. Such meals will be free to all children http://policy.greenparty.org.uk/he.html
Labour Tristram Hunt MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, commenting on the Government’s introduction of Free School Meals, said: “Nick Clegg has over-promised and under-delivered. Many schools have had to raid their budgets to pay for a policy that was introduced on a political timetable. http://www.labour.org.uk/search?cx=003398791842430890827%3Ayyeijwya5em&ie=UTF-8&q=free+school+meals&sa=Search
Liberal Democrat Extend free school meals to all children in primary education, as resources allow and after a full evaluation of free meals for infants, while ensuring that school food standards apply to all schools, including academies.
Plaid Cymru We are committed to the Foundation Phase – which emphasises learning through play, and we call for a study into the feasibility of providing every infant school child in Wales with free school meals as there is a clear link between poor diet and educational attainment http://www.partyof.wales/our-vision-for-our-children/
SNP With all pupils in Primary 1 to Primary 3 set to be entitled to a free school meal from tomorrow - Monday 5th January - the SNP is today highlighting the importance of the policy - with 135,000 children expected to benefit and families of every eligible child saving at least £330 per year. http://www.snp.org/media-centre/news/2015/jan/p1-p3-children-entitled-free-school-meals
UKIP The financial situation has not been helped one jot by the madness of Nick Clegg's demand for free school meals for young primary school children, a project already in disarray with shortage of funds Source: Mr Nuttall, UKIP Education spokesman http://www.ukip.org/elephant_in_the_classroom
