uin	12697
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2015 answer text <p>The government’s changes to tax credits will have no effect on the number of children accessing free school meals (FSM) in England. All households receiving out-of-work benefits continue to be entitled to FSM, while changes to Child Tax Credit will have no impact. The number of children growing up in workless households has decreased by 480,000 since 2010, a record low. This has led to the number of households claiming FSM decreasing and we expect this to continue as the economy continues to improve.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 23/10/2015 10:36:55 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
