Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when he plans to publish the Ecorys evaluation of the 2019 Holiday Activities and Food Scheme with respect to free school meals eligibility.
Last year, we commissioned Ecorys to carry out an independent evaluation of our 2019 Holiday Activities and Food programme.
The report has been delayed due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak but it is now in the final stages and is being prepared for publication. We will continue to work with Ecorys on this and we expect their report to be published in the near future.
