Rejected petition This petition wants school meals for children to be free of charge.

We would like all school meals in the United Kingdom to be free of charge as some parents may not have enough money to pay the fee-this also helps children to prevent not eating because of their balance on their account.

More details

We want the government or parliament to do this because it will prevent children from being hungry after Lunchtime , just because they dont have the right amount of money for a meal.
