§ Dr. TongeTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many schools in the UK provide breakfast clubs, broken down by education authority. [136208]
§ Mr. MilibandThe Department does not keep a record of the number of breakfast clubs operating in any given area of the country. Breakfast clubs are available in a number of schools, and may form part of a school's study support or childcare provision for which Government funding is available. They can not only provide learning opportunities for pupils, but also help support the needs of working parents by offering food in a safe and stimulating environment for their children.
