Text

That is very much the reason why I say that the Bill is only one piece of a wider puzzle. The threshold is a piece of the puzzle. Universal free school meals are a piece of that puzzle. There are pieces of the puzzle in the Department of Health, the Department for Communities and across the board, but my private Member's Bill is about the Department of Education. I am not shying away from that.
