Thanks to @SadiqKhan for 1 million #FreeSchoolMeals

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Two years ago, I introduced a pioneering policy to provide free school meals for all of London’s state primary school children.

Today we’re celebrating 100 million free school meals provided since September 2023.
