Free School Meals: Migrants
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the reply by Lord Benyon on 17 November (HL Deb, col 282), what plans they have to make arrangements for the long-term provision of free school meals to children in families with no recourse to public funds; and when they intend to publish any such plans.
- Answer
-
The department has temporarily extended free school meal eligibility to include some children of groups who have no recourse to public funds in light of the current unique circumstances many families face at this time.
We are currently working with departments across government to evaluate access to free school meals for families with no recourse to public funds.
