Families living in poverty left waiting for weeks to receive free school meals
Labour demands government fix errors and delays that are leaving kids hungry

LABOUR is demanding that the government sort out its failing free school meal voucher scheme following a litany of administrative errors and delays. 

Families living in poverty have been left waiting for weeks to receive free school meals due to problems with the government website, run by voucher supplier Edenred. 

The website was set up to deliver the £15 per week supermarket vouchers to families entitled to free school meals.
