What its position is on increasing the provision of free school meals.

Scottish Ministers have already taken action to increase the provision of free school meals in Scotland. Latest statistics on free school meals were published on 22 June 2016 in the Scottish Government Statistics Publication
- Summary statistics for attainment, leaver destinations and healthy living, No. 6: 2016 Edition. The figures show that over 134,500 (81.7%) of primary one to three pupils across Scotland are now benefitting from a nutritious free school lunch and over 102,000 more primary school pupils took a free school meal in 2016, compared to 2014.
Young children in receipt of their entitlement to funded early learning and childcare are eligible for a free school meal where they meet the criteria; and, once relevant provisions of the Education (Scotland) Act 2106 on free school meals are commenced, children in receipt of their early learning and childcare entitlement at partner providers will also be eligible for a free school meal where they meet the criteria.
In addition, the Scottish Government has committed to extending universal free school meals to all two, three and four year olds in funded early learning and childcare as part of the expansion to 1140 hours of early learning and childcare by the end of this parliament.
