The Committee warmly congratulated the petitioner on a successful outcome, with the Welsh Government in co-operation with Plaid Cymru making a commitment to provide free school meals for all primary school children. Whilst the petitioner’s overarching call is for all school pupils to be provided with free school meals, this is a significant step in achieving that ambition.

 

It was agreed that in response to further questions raised by the petitioner, answers which are in the public domain would be collated and sent to the petitioner.
