Really pleased the Government has listened to Lib Dem calls to extend free school meals to more children - so much more more to do but definitely a step forward www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Free school meal rule change to make 500,000 more pupils eligible
Charities have broadly welcomed the plans, saying they hope it is a sign of more to come.
