Alex supports free meals call for local college students

Stockton North MP Alex Cunningham is supporting the Association of Colleges’ No Free Lunch? campaign, calling on the Government to extend the provision of free meals to college students.

If a 16- to 18-year-old from a disadvantaged background studies in a school sixth form, Academy or Free School, they are provided with a free meal.  However, if the same student chooses to study at a further education or sixth form college, they lose this entitlement.

Alex Said:

“This disparity which sees students treated differently according to where they choose to study is inherently unfair.  I fully support the No Free Lunch? campaign and hope that this issue can be resolved as soon as possible so that all students in my constituency are treated equally.”
