Free School Meals

Proceeding contribution from David Simmonds (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 October 2020. It occurred during Opposition day on Free School Meals.

Was the Secretary of State moved, as I was, by The Times “Red Box” article that Marcus Rashford wrote? Did he find it quite striking that the

anxiety and difficulties that he described in growing up, with his mum’s worry about feeding the children, took place entirely under a Labour Government who claimed that eradicating child poverty was their front and central policy?
