HC Deb 09 September 2004 vol 424 c1371W
Helen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what guidance he has issued on the role of school governors in ensuring the provision of healthy school meals. [187709]

Mr. Stephen Twigg

On 6 September the Secretary of State launched the Healthy Liking Blueprint for schools. The blueprint, and supporting website (www.teachernet.gov.uk/healthyliving), bring together all the elements that contribute to a whole school approach to food and nutrition: the curriculum; food/meals available; pupil views; partnership working; the role of heads, governors and other staff. In addition to the blueprint the Food Standards Agency is working closely with the National Governors' Council to encourage school governors to promote a high quality approach to food and nutrition in their schools.
