answer text: In addition to the £1 billion of new revenue funding that we will be providing to schools to support this policy between 2014 and 2016, we will be offering a comprehensive package of implementation support to help schools overcome the practical and logistical challenges involved in providing universal infant free school meals. We will announce further details about this support shortly. The Department for Education has also allocated £150 million capital funding in 2014-15 to assist schools in providing universal infant free school meals through investment in kitchen and dining facilities. Details of the capital allocations we are making to individual local authorities were announced on 18 December 2013, as well as the fact that additional capital funding would be made available for academies and free schools through the Academies Capital Maintenance Fund (ACMF).
