The Mayor of London has unveiled a £130m scheme to provide all primary school children in the capital with a free school meal for one year.
Sadiq Khan has unveiled an emergency scheme to extend free school meals to every primary school pupil in the capital for one year.
"So what I'm able to do is announce £130m so every child at a primary school in London from the next school year for at least a year will have a free school meal, a nutritious hot meal during the course of the day."AdvertisementHe added:"I remember the feeling of shame and embarrassment because I had to get my free school meals voucher separate from my friends and eat separately from the majority of pupils because we got our voucher late.
Anna Taylor, chief executive of the Food Foundation, called on the government to follow Mr Khan's lead and invest in free school meal expansion in the upcoming spring budget.
