FREE SCHOOL MEALS IN HARLOW COLLEGE

Early day motion 238, tabled 20 June 2012 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 11 members.

That this House notes that there has been a loophole in the system for many years damaging the prospects of young people at Harlow College with an estimate of at least 350 students in severe need of free school meals but no funding for this; further notes that this has left students hungry and unable to work to their full potential, leaving their education at serious risk; believes there is a need for schools to share data on who needs free school meals with colleges; and calls on the Government to extend free school meals funding to students at Harlow College and other education establishments.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, Conservative 2, DUP 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
