Free School Meals

Proceeding contribution from Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 October 2020. It occurred during Opposition day on Free School Meals.

I thank my hon. Friend for allowing me to intervene in the midst of her excellent oration. There are 3,891 children in Slough who are known to require free school meals.

Does she agree that if feeding those children over the summer was the right and humane thing to do in the middle of a pandemic, surely it is right and honourable to feed them over the winter when their parents are struggling to put food on the table and more than 1 million children could potentially go hungry? Or does she think that the Prime Minister has merely changed his priorities once again?
