Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what percentage of children receive free school meals in the Upper Agbrigg and Saddle-worth areas of the West Riding, respectively; and what is the comparable national figure;

(2) what percentage of children ceased taking school meals since the increase in their cost in the Upper Agbrigg and Saddleworth areas of the West Riding, respectively.

My Department does not collect information relating to the take-up of meals in particular parts of a local education authority's area. The hon. Member may wish to consult the authority direct.
