Free school meals’ campaigners have urged Jeremy Hunt to back the lifeline in this week’s Budget.
A cross-party group of MPs has written to the Chancellor calling on the Government to provide the benefit for all primary school pupils in England, which the Mirror and National Education Union are fighting for, in line with promises in Wales and Scotland.
The letter, organised by Labour backbencher Zarah Sultana, is signed by MPs from the Labour, Lib Dem, Green, SNP and Alba parties, as well as Independents including Jeremy Corbyn.
