Lib Dems Propose Free School Meals for All Children in Poverty

Munira Wilson to advocate for expanded meal program and national SEND body at party conference

The Liberal Democrats aim to provide free school meals to an additional 900,000 children living in poverty.
Education spokesperson Munira Wilson will deliver a keynote speech highlighting the benefits of the proposal, including better academic progress and health outcomes.
Wilson will share stories from constituents to underscore the urgent need for the expanded meal program.
The party will also propose a national body for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to ensure consistent support for children with complex needs.
The conference marks the first major gathering of Lib Dem MPs and activists since their record win of 72 seats in the recent general election.
