§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what guidelines she has set out in respect of the serving of healthy meals in the canteens of(a) schools, (b) colleges and (c) universities; and if she will make a statement. [37090]
§ Mrs. GillanNone. The nutritional content and presentation of school food is for individual LEAs and governing bodies of grant-maintained schools to decide. We expect to publish voluntary dietary guidance for them in the autumn. We hope LEAs and governors will adopt the good practices it recommends. Colleges and universities are autonomous institutions and responsible for their own catering. Although the guidance is not aimed at them, those institutions will no doubt also wish to ensure that healthy food options are available.
