Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of the number of families in Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle constituency that would have been entitled to free school meals under the pre-universal free school meals system; and if she will make a statement.

Figures on the proportion of children eligible for free school meals are published, for all authorities in England, annually. The figures can be found in the statistical first releases available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-and-pupil-numbers.

The proportion of pupils eligible for and claiming free school meals under the system prior to the introduction of universal free school meals system is published at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2017.
