answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>From September 2014, further education (FE) funded institutions are required to provide free meals to their disadvantaged 16- to 18-year-old students.</p><p>Funding for FE free meals in 2014-15 has been set at £2.41 per meal. This is based on evidence of the average cost of providing school meals in secondary schools, using the latest available data from the 2012 School Food Trust Annual Survey.</p><p>However, we recognise that institutions will face a range of different circumstances and so have given them the flexibility to enhance free meals funding from the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund. We have also made clear that where they do this they must ensure that they continue to provide sufficient support from that scheme to support students facing the full range of barriers to participation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 13/10/2014 13:23:04 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles
