Thousands of schoolchildren who are living in poverty and missing out on free school meals come from working families, The North East Child Poverty Commission has said.
The Labour Party is currently pushing for all primary school children in England to receive free school meals, but Northumberland MP Ian Levy said he won't be supporting the move.
The Tory MP, who represents Blyth Valley, said hardworking families shouldn't pay for the meals for children of high income families.
