tabling member constituency	Newcastle upon Tyne North
tabling member printed	Catherine McKinnell
uin	132050
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2018 answer text <p>Our new criteria for free school meals eligibility will increase the number of children eligible for this vital benefit. We have not made specific regional assessments of the effect of these changes. Due to the generous protections we will provide, all children receiving free school meals at the point the threshold is introduced, and all those who gain eligibility as Universal Credit (UC) rolls out, will continue to receive free school meals until the end of UC rollout. After this point, those children who were protected – if they are still in school – will continue to be protected until the end of their phase of education. While we estimate around 50,000 children more will benefit from our proposals once UC rollout is complete, many more children again will benefit as a result of our transitional arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 15/03/2018 15:36:00 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
