Chancellor Rishi Sunak has snubbed a call from footballer Marcus Rashford to continue the free school holiday meals policy.
But Mr Sunak said as provisions such as furlough have now come to an end, so too should the provision of free school meals during the holidays.
We've put in place something called the holiday activities programme, which provides not just meals but also activities for children during holiday periods for those families that need extra help.
It reads: "Better jobs are the route out of poverty, and the virtue of these children's food schemes is that when working families shore up their income they can buy school and holiday meals themselves
The signatories go on to estimate that extending free school meals over the holidays and the Healthy Start Programme - which provides schools with vouchers redeemable for fruit, vegetables and milk - would cost £1.1bn each year
The England forward has also previously campaigned for the free school meal provision to be extended to all children aged seven to 18 in all households earning £20,000 or less after benefits, and to children that are undocumented or living in immigrant households with no recourse to public funds
