Make £2.00 the most any catering company/school/borough can charge for hot food

Closed 156 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the UK government to introduce a maximum that any school ,catering company or borough can charge students to eat the hot food or main meal that the school serves.
The price of hot food in schools across the UK has increased by an average of 5% over the past 4 years.The unjust increase means that some children have to buy food from shops, which would be harmless if the food that children were buying was healthy but that isn't the case unfortunately in most situations snacks like crisps sweets and biscuits are less healthy than an actual meal but are a lot less expensive.Adults have pay to much for school food.
