Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of children of working parents who qualify for free school meals.
This question was answered on 1st July 2019
The information requested is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
Free school meals are aimed at families who are out of work, and those in work with low earnings. For further information on the qualifying criteria, I refer the noble Lord to the answer I gave on 18 June 2019 to Question HL15975, as attached.
