Breakfast Clubs: Primary Education

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding per pupil she plans to allocate to implement free breakfast clubs in primary schools.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

The government has already taken decisive action by announcing in the King’s Speech that, under the Children’s Wellbeing Bill, every primary school with primary aged children will offer a free breakfast club. Legislating for breakfast club provision will give schools the certainty they need to plan for the future.

Future spending commitments will be set out as part of the Spending Review process.
