answer text <p>The UK is working with a wide range of partners, including the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the African Union and the UN, as well regional partners, such as South Sudan and the Gulf, to support a resolution of conflict in Sudan. In September 2023, the Deputy Foreign Secretary met President Salva Kiir to discuss progress on South Sudan's Peace Agreement and efforts to secure peace in Sudan. The UK supports South Sudan's regional peace and mediation efforts and welcomes South Sudan's response to refugees and returnees fleeing the violence in Sudan.</p> more like this

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>

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> more like this
