§ Mr. Simon CoombsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the progress of the Fun Eating at School Today campaign.
§ Mr. ButcherSince joining the FEAST campaign this year, the participating local authorities have noted an increase in pupil take-up of school meals, in contrast to the decline of recent years. This is encouraging evidence that pupils can be attracted by a quality service.
