The UK’s major supermarkets have co-signed a letter urging the Government to commit to expanding eligibility for free school meals in England in the Budget.
Iceland, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Aldi, Co-op, Waitrose, Asda and Morrisons have written to Education Secretary Gillian Keegan, with chefs Jamie Oliver and Tom Kerridge, calling for free school meals to be expanded to all children from families in England who receive universal credit.
Households in England receiving universal credit must earn below £7,400 a year before benefits and after tax to qualify.
