question text	To ask His Majesty's Government how many of the schools in England that had days of closure due to weather conditions in the last 12 months provided vouchers to replace Free School Meals to their pupils.
tabling member printed	Baroness Berridge
uin	HL4481
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2023 answer text <p>Schools have a duty to provide Free School Meals (FSM) for registered pupils, either on school premises or at any other place where education is being provided. If the school is closed due to extreme weather and/or extenuating circumstances, and education is not being provided for pupils elsewhere, then the school would not be expected to provide free school meals.</p><p>Where meals are provided, our guidance advises schools to work with their school catering team or food provider to provide good quality lunch parcels. Where this is not practicable, schools may make local arrangements to supply vouchers.</p><p>The Department does not keep records of which schools make meal or voucher provision during periods of closure, nor the number of pupils supported under such arrangements.</p><p>Around 1.9 million pupils are claiming FSM. Together with a further 1.25 million infants supported through UIFSM policy, over one third of school children are now provided with a free meal, at a cost of over £1 billion a year. The department currently has generous protections in place, ensuring that eligible pupils keep their FSM entitlement even if their household circumstances improve.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran grouped question UIN HL4482 HL4483 question first answered 09/01/2023 15:56:53 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL4481
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/05/2020 answer text <p>There is no universally agreed description for ultra-processed foods and therefore the Government cannot comment on the percentage of such in the food parcels. The contents of the emergency food parcels have, however, been reviewed by nutritionists as overall based on, and broadly in line with, the national food model, the Eatwell Guide.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 28/05/2020 12:14:29 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
