Giving more children access to free school meals is a "no brainer" that would fire up the economy, the boss of Tesco has said.
John Allan, the supermarket’s chairman, warned that Tory ministers are failing hundreds of thousands of kids from less well off families who are being deprived of free dinners by strict eligibility rules.
"Extending free school meal support is much more than an emergency measure in difficult times," he said. "It’s an investment in the potential of every single child and their futures."
