Plans to give free school meals to all primary kids in London for a year will make the case for extending the benefit "irrefutable", Boris Johnson's former food tsar has said.
Henry Dimbleby said the game-changing decision by London Mayor Sadiq Khan would prove the benefit of free school meals to children's education, health and life chances.
Pressure is mounting on Rishi Sunak to ensure all primary pupils get a proper hot meal, as an estimated 800,000 children living in poverty miss out due to strict eligibility rules.
