Mr Rees-Mogg
I will certainly pass on that question to the Secretary of State.
Alex Norris (Nottingham North) (Lab/Co-op)
All summer, the hunger in communities such as mine across the country was tangible. Voluntary sector organisations are stepping in to feed our children. Why are the Government not doing more? May we have a debate on feeding our children in the holidays?
Mr Rees-Mogg
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for raising that point. The Government carried out a pilot scheme that fed 50,000 children over the summer. The scheme is being evaluated to consider whether it should be rolled out more widely.
