Chancellor Rachel Reeves discussed the policies on a visit to a Kent school
Chancellor Rachel Reeves visited Medway on Tuesday (June 24) to talk about expanding free school meals to more than 500,000 children across the UK.
She went to Inspire Partnership’s Elaine Primary School in Strood to discuss the government’s £1bn plans which will see an additional 20,000 Kent children receive them.
Across the county, just under 80,000 youngsters are able to get free meals which the Treasury believes will save parents up to £500 per child and lift 100,000 children across England completely out of poverty.
