27 Aug 2019 --- Millions of UK schoolchildren could soon be feeling the effects of a no-deal Brexit through their school lunches, according to an open letter signed by over 30 children’s health and wellbeing professionals, campaigners and unions. The letter calls on the government to safeguard free school lunches, with a no-deal Brexit anticipated to increase food prices by up to 10 percent. This, in addition to the predicted interruptions to fresh fruit and vegetable supply, has led the groups to ask for assurance that extra funding will be available to ensure schools can continue to feed children properly.
