Of course, we had some international examples from Jenny, and we do need to look to other countries for the excellent examples in some areas. And, of course, that’s what Suzy Davies started with in her contribution, and thank you to her for that, telling us about some past school lunches—I won't pursue that—but, of course, that international experience, in Finland, in particular, again innovating, as Finland innovates in several different fields, and spending the necessary funds to innovate, it’s true to say. But I like that idea of showing children what a healthy plate of food looks like. That is very important—not just leaving it entirely up to the child’s choice. There’s an expectation there of what a healthy plateful looks like.

Then, moving on to Mike Hedges’s contribution, of course, Mike was emphasising the importance of the school meal, just in case the child did not receive any other food at all during that day—remembering the background of poverty, of course, in Swansea, that's a very important agenda for us—and again emphasised the importance of healthy food for the development and well-being of the child in educational terms and in terms of their health. And Mike also told us about the need or the challenge to provide food for our children during the summer holidays. It’s an issue that arises frequently in Swansea, particularly during the long school holidays in the summer. And Mike made the point that children aren’t born just liking chocolate and hating vegetables—there is a wider role in providing education and how children are brought up in this world, but I think that is outwith the parameters of this debate this afternoon. 

And that brings us to the very valuable contribution made by Joyce Watson about the availability of water, again, and making the case for having a vegan option as well in our schools—it’s about having that choice, isn’t it—and emphasising the importance of vegetables in terms of nutrition. And Joyce reminded us of the impact of what we eat, the direct influence of that on our environment. Joyce made the point, as several Members did, that the school meal can influence habits for life, as the child grows to be a young person and then an adult—you establish lifelong eating habits in school. And the very interesting point was made about when schools do grow their own produce to be consumed, emphasising the importance of local produce, but, in educational terms, children can see where their food comes from, and she referred to the current inquiry of the climate change committee on allotments and the importance in that regard of living a healthy life, eating healthy food and decreasing food waste. The result of that inquiry will follow from the climate change committee.

And the Minister, to conclude—I have noted some issues that she referred to already, but she also endorsed the importance of healthy meals to promote the well-being and development of the child, acknowledged the contribution of those who prepare the food, of course, including other members of her family over the years in areas of Swansea some of us know very well. It’s important to acknowledge the vital role played by those who prepare the food in our schools and the contribution they’ve made over the years, because the obesity agenda is the fundamental issue driving all of this. There are several elements to our response as a society to the obesity agenda, as the Minister outlined. The update of the regulations on healthy eating in schools is on the way. Again, the Minister emphasised the importance of local procurement. We had the debate again about the provision of water free of charge, and she reminded us that free breakfasts in school started here in Wales as well. To conclude, the Minister emphasised that the well-being of our children is what’s at the heart of this. Thank you.
