POVERTY campaigners in Wales wrote to First Minister Eluned Morgan today calling for the children of migrants to have the same right to free school meals as other pupils.

Children’s Commissioner for Wales Rocio Cifuentes and Future Generations’ Commissioner Derek Walker joined with the Bevan Foundation and 35 organisations in signing the letter to Ms Morgan.

Their appeal marked the start of Challenge Poverty Week, which highlights the need to end discrimination against migrant children whose parents are in Britain on temporary visas.
