West Midlands mayor Andy Street said the Government should make 'a clear decision' on whether it would or would not fund free school meals over holidays 'well in advance'. Downing Street insisted yesterday that it would not back down over footballer Marcus Rashford's campaign for free school meals  as Tory party rifts over the issue burst out into the open. However, he added: 'But accept more to it than that & will make detailed stmt in due course'. Last week it dug in its heels over his call for free school meals to be extended over half-term. Indeed, both are examples of how social and economic assistance (Rashford received free school meals himself as a youngster) can provide the necessary tools to lift people out of poverty and not be a burden on the taxpayer.
Mayor Andy Street will help fund $1.000 for meals over holidays.
