§ Mr. Barry FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is his estimate of the number of children who will no longer qualify for free school meals on the Isle of Wight after 1 April(a) numerically and (b) expressed as a percentage.
§ Mr. DunnChildren currently receiving free school meals at the LEA's discretion or because the family is in receipt of family income supplement will no longer do so when the Social Security Act 1986 comes into effect on 11 April. In October 1986, the latest date for which data are available, the number of children receiving free school meals in these two categories was 446, or 6 per cent. of the total number of pupils taking meals.
