HC Deb 08 August 1980 vol 990 c363W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what action he intends to take regarding any local authority which provides inadequate meals for children receiving free meals or inadequate facilities for children bringing their own food.

Dr. Boyson

My right hon and learned Friend is not aware of any local education authority not fulfilling its statutory duties under section 22 of the Education Act, 1980, and the question of possible action on his part has, therefore, not arisen.

Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much subsidy for the provision of school meals the Government are calculating for the purpose of the rate support grant for free school meals and for school meals sold to pupils.
