While we agree with the sentiment behind Plaid's motion, we cannot support it. We do need to end child hunger, however, we will not do that by extending free school meals to all children, which is the logical conclusion of the motion before us. We have limited resources and they have to be targeted at those most in need. We will, therefore, be supporting the Welsh Government's amendment.

I'm sure that every single one of us wishes to do all that we can to end the scourge of child hunger. The UK is home to 54 billionaires, a nation where the ultra rich make more in a minute or an hour than most people earn in a year, yet one third of children live in poverty. Far too many children go to bed hungry and free school meals are often their only reliable source of nutrition. I welcome the Welsh Government's additional investment in free school meals, and for being the first UK home nation to extend free meal entitlement during the holidays. And I also welcome their commitment to a review of the income threshold for receiving free school meals. We must not allow a single child in Wales to go hungry.

However, we must also address the elephant in the room: the rise of childhood obesity and the lack of nutrition. According to the Food Foundation, a staggering 94 per cent of children consume less than three to five portions of veg a day, and Wales is one of the worst UK nations for fruit and veg consumption. It's hardly surprising when we consider that healthy foods are three times more expensive than less-healthy foods for the equivalent number of calories. The poorest fifth of UK households would need to spend around 40 per cent of their disposable income on food to meet Eatwell guidance. We must, therefore, ensure that school meals meet and exceed Eatwell guidance. I also urge Governments across the UK to work together to make healthy food cheaper. Diolch yn fawr.
