Holiday Hunger Schemes

Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on Holiday Hunger Schemes.

My hon. Friend has been doing brilliant work. We had a pilot scheme in Bristol, and what I found particularly interesting about it, and about the national results, was that children really wanted the fresh fruit. They regarded it as something of a luxury. Also, taking the leftover food home at the end of the day was very important. It shows the level of food poverty in which those children exist.
