Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which school meal catering companies do not serve school meals to children whose meal payments are in arrears.
The information requested is not held centrally.
Schools are responsible for the day-to-day running of their school meals service, including their policy around collecting payment for school lunches. Schools have a general duty of care to their pupils and must consider the welfare of their pupils when taking decisions on how they operate on a day to day basis.
