Rejected petition Provide all primary aged children with free school meals

Free school meals are currently available for Reception, Year 1 and year 2. I would like the government to extend this to include years 3,4,5 and 6.

More details

All children in primary school deserve to have a hot meal everyday. I don’t understand why children in years reception to year 2 are more worthy of a hot meal than the ks2 children. This is not equality and it is unfair.
