Reinstate £30 vouchers and stop private companies profiting from hunger.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I have seen the pathetic amounts of food that a private company has given, supposedly £30 worth, but looks like shameful profiteering on the basis of taking advantage of hunger. Anyone could get better value from aldi for £30 than what has been shown in pictures today. Will it take Marcus rashford.

Stop private companies profiting from the hunger of children.. Tory disgrace as usual. Will it take Marcus rashford to force another u turn and reinstate £30 food vouchers.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The national voucher scheme to provide meals to children eligible for free school meals during lockdown reopened on Monday 18th January. Schools are able to claim back support provided through lunch parcels or locally arranged vouchers since 4th January from the Department for Education.
