Yeovil school providing free school meals vouchers over half-term themselves

Available for over a year

A Yeovil School's decided to provide free school meals over the holidays even without the support of Government. Earlier this week the Labour motion to expand the scheme for out of term time because of the pandemic was voted against. Principal of Preston School Greg Morrison says the problem isn't going to go away - instead it's going to get worse as the furlough scheme ends. Yeovil MP Marcus Fysh claims parents need to take more responsibility and claims the Government already provides support through Universal Credit and working with food banks. BBC Radio Somerset's Charlie Taylor spoke to Greg Morrison on Breakfast.
