Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Helen Jones (Labour), on Wednesday, 7 January 2004, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 80 members in total.


FREE SCHOOL MEALS

That this House believes that free school meals can play an important role in improving the diet of children from poorer families; is concerned that the value of a free school meal varies considerably from one local authority to another; and urges the Government to introduce a standard national amount for the free school meal entitlement which is sufficient to provide a two-course lunch and a drink.
