Free School Meals - To Be Extended For All Primary Schools Across England.
Rejected

What the petition asks
Many children go hungry or don't eat for hours, until they return home for their evening meal. We must address this, as it can have an impact on a child's mental health & study focus. Child food poverty has nearly doubled last year to almost 4 million children.
This government must address this issue and provide free school meals for all primary school pupils across England.
Parents, teachers & the general public have spoken in favour of this.
