HC Deb 05 March 1992 vol 205 c249W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what arrangments are made for the provision of school meals to those children entitled to free meals in(a) grant-maintained schools and (b) city technology colleges.

Mr. Eggar

Grant-maintained schools must provide a free school meal to any pupil who would be entitled to one in a local education authority-maintained school. Their annual maintenance grant makes provision for this.

City technology colleges are independent institutions and it is for them to make arrangements to provide meals free of charge to those children entitled to free school meals. City technology colleges grant from the Department make provision for this.
