Mr. Khan highlighted the ongoing fiscal pressures faced by the government, stating, "I fully appreciate and understand why the Government can't provide funding for universal free school meals. " He emphasized the importance of having a conversation about future funding options as the current financial situation is being addressed. He believes that once the government resolves the fiscal challenges left by the previous administration, discussions can progress on providing meals for children in need.
In response to the inquiries about support for universal free school meals, Mr. Khan stated, "I want us to have a proper conversation about how we can have this going forward," indicating a cautious yet hopeful stance. He acknowledged the pressing financial issues the government faces, but also recognized a potential path toward expanding meal programs for families in need, particularly children receiving Universal Credit.
