I’ve just come from the celebration of school meals hosted by Lesley Griffiths—delighted to hear from the head of the school meals service for Bridgend that they’re pitching for the charter mark for their school meals service, which is what we enjoy upstairs in our canteen—and I wondered what help the national food procurement service is going to be able to provide schools so that all schools can pitch for the charter mark, in particular in relation to fruit and vegetables. Only 3 per cent of fruit and vegetables is locally sourced, with a massive trade deficit resulting. What ambition, therefore, does the Welsh Government have to ensure that all our schools have the charter mark, just like Oldham does?
