answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text <p>The government’s School Food Standards regulates the food and drink provided at both lunchtime and at other times of the school day. Beyond this, we believe that head teachers, school governors and caterers are best placed to make decisions about their school food policies, taking into account local circumstances and the needs of their pupils. In doing so, we expect schools to make reasonable adjustments for pupils with particular requirements, for example to reflect dietary and cultural needs.</p><p>The School Food Standards already contain sufficient flexibility to enable schools to provide a variety of plant-based food and drink options to pupils if there is a demand for them. School food policies work best when schools discuss them with parents and pupils, so that parents have the opportunity to raise pupils’ particular dietary needs.</p> answering member constituency Chelmsford answering member printed Vicky Ford question first answered 27/04/2021 14:55:18 answering member 4674 label Biography information for Vicky Ford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2021 answer text <p>The Withdrawal Agreement, signed on 24 January 2020, provides citizens with the certainty they need about their rights going forward. It means UK nationals living in Spain before the end of the transition period can continue to live, work, study and access benefits and services broadly as they did before the UK left the EU. Throughout the negotiations, we have sought to understand the unique circumstances of UK nationals living in Spain and continue to use the feedback received from UK nationals to help inform our approach.</p><p>The Government has been actively engaging with UK nationals in Spain through our Embassy in Madrid and Consulates across Spain. This has included town hall events; social media outreach; interviews with print media and radio; as well as digital content on gov.uk such as the Living in Guides. We have also launched a multi-million pound communications campaign for UK nationals in the EU, which informs them about the actions they may need to take. To date, there have been over 318 outreach events in Spain. We also maintain a regular dialogue with both the Spanish government and civil society groups.</p><p>The Government is also working with third party organisations through the UK Nationals Support Fund to help UK nationals who may struggle to register in Spain. Since May 2020, 126,503 UK nationals have accessed the services of our three grant-funded organisations in Spain. 3,306 people have been directly supported by a caseworker and 1,013 registrations have been submitted on behalf of those who would struggle to do so themselves.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 23/04/2021 13:32:34 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
