I'm going to come to something very similar to that later.

Concentrating on what is being taught in a classroom is a lot harder when you are hungry and the need for food exceeds any importance of what you are being taught in the classroom. That is why I am supporting this debate today and why I believe it is incredibly important that children are adequately fed in school and fed healthy meals.

The current situation is that the Healthy Eating in Schools (Nutritional Standards and Requirements) (Wales) Regulations 2013 outlines food and drinks that are suitable to be provided in maintained schools. This also covers foods provided as part of the free breakfast scheme. Governing bodies are required to provide information regarding their actions taken to promote healthy eating and drinking to pupils in their annual reports. Estyn, the education and training inspectorate in Wales, then reports on actions taken by schools to the Welsh Ministers.

Firstly, I want to concentrate on the school midday meal, or school dinner, as it is known to many. One of the many things that differentiates people like me from the wealthy is that I consider the midday meal 'dinner' whilst they describe it as 'lunch', and their main meal, 'dinner', occurs in the evening when I eat 'tea'. I think that's the difference, and a point that was raised by Suzy Davies: they may be given some money to go and get something, but they have a main meal when they get home, because their parents have that level of wealth.
