Tory breakfast clubs attacked as step back from promises

LABOUR has dismissed the government’s “inadequate” plans to pump £26 million into school breakfast clubs across England.

According to the Department of Education today, more than 1,770 state schools will receive the cash, with money targeted at the most disadvantaged areas of the country.

Two charities, Family Action and Magic Breakfast, will be responsible for running the clubs, which are due to start this spring.
