Members' Business Motion · S1M-02045 · Session 1
Free School Meals
The motion
That the Parliament believes that a portion of the additional £200 million allocated to the Scottish Executive from the 2001 United Kingdom budget should be used to deliver free school meals for all state school children in Scotland; considers that all children, by right, should have access to free school meals; recognises that the current means-tested system not only stigmatises school meals but also the children who claim them; congratulates Child Poverty Action Group on its “Free School Meals Campaign” which has led to a proposal for a Member’s Bill, and looks forward to a time when Scotland’s children can once again enjoy free and nutritious school meals.
