PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Free School Meals: Westmorland (10 July 2014)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many more infant school children in Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency will be eligible for free school meals as a result of the extension of free school meals to all infant school children.

Asked by:
Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat)

From September 2014 all infant pupils in state-funded schools in England will be eligible for a free, healthy school meal. Across England, we estimate that this means that 1.5 million additional pupils in reception, year 1 and year 2 will become eligible for a free school meal. We do not hold estimates of the numbers that will become newly eligible at constituency level.
