The government's recently announced 'food strategy' offers 'no new help for low-income families', Greater Manchester's Poverty Action Group have said. This was after plans to extend free school meals to up to a million more poor kids were shelved in plans published today.
A Food Strategy White Paper was unveiled today, but has come under criticism over recent days after being leaked to The Guardian. This was after a string of suggestions from the government's food tsar Henry Dimbleby were dropped.
This included suggestions from the Leon founder that free school meals should be extended to all children in households with Universal Credit. This will instead be 'kept under review'.
