Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether funding for the planned £26 million contract to provide breakfast clubs will be allocated from revenue raised from the soft drinks industry levy.
We announced within the Childhood Obesity Plan in August 2016 that we would launch a breakfast club programme using funds from the Soft Drinks Industry Levy.
We published an invitation to tender on the 16 October 2017 indicating that we are investing £26 million from the levy over the next three years to expand breakfast club provision.
