Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of uprating in line with inflation the income threshold for Free School Meals eligibility for children in families with No Recourse to Public Funds.

Children from households with no recourse to public funds can receive free meals in school, subject to meeting income criteria set by the department in our published guidance.

As with all government programmes, we continue to keep free school meals under review.
