Provide free school meals to all school children

What the petition asks
I would like the Government to fund free and nutritious school meals to all children attending school. I believe that many school meals are expensive and of poor quality. Many students cannot leave school during lunchtime and have to eat what’s being served at school.
I do not feel it’s right that children, who may be coming to school hungry, have to budget their money throughout the school day as well.
