Text
I thank the Minister for his statement, which references a "happy, healthy" start for children. Tackling child poverty and holiday hunger can help to give children and young people the best start in life, and we know that that can be done through the extension of free school meals during holiday periods. Minister, will you confirm your and your party's support for my colleague Danny Baker's Bill to end holiday hunger and extend free school meals as a measure to give children that happy and healthy start?
