Will the Minister confirm whether the Welsh Government is open to the possibility of providing universal free school meals during school holidays at any time within the next two years?
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language | Answered on 01/02/2024
The Welsh Government has never provided universal free school meals during holiday periods and has no plans to.
The universal provision of free school meals in primary schools is being carried out in collaboration with Siân Gwenllian MS, the Plaid Cymru lead designated member, as part of the Co-operation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru.
