Responding to the news that Wales has become the first UK nation to offer free school meals to all primary school children, Tom Giffard MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Education Minister, said:

“It is right that children who need a free school meal receive one, but there have been flaws in Labour’s delivery of the scheme.

“The Welsh Conservatives have previously highlighted that this policy was uncosted, so it is unsurprising that there has been news of low quality and small portion sizes due to councils struggling with Labour’s budget cuts.

“This policy has been poorly implemented by the Welsh Labour Government from the outset and sadly, it is our young people who are having to pay the price.”
