Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when he plans to commence the review of the School Food in England: Departmental advice for governing bodies.
The new school food standards came in to force from January 2015. They have been widely welcomed but since then new advice on sugar and nutrition has been published. Therefore the Department for Education, supported by Public Health England, will update the standards in light of refreshed government dietary recommendations. We will consider school menus and update the departmental advice as part of this work. Further details will be available shortly.
