Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to include all primary school age children in the School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme.

The School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme resumed in September when children returned to school. As before, all children in Key Stage 1 in state-funded primary schools receive a free piece of fruit or vegetable every school day.

There are currently no plans to extend this scheme to all primary school pupils.
