| Video Discription | The government has bowed to pressure and performed a U-turn after previously rejecting a plea to provide children in England with free meals during the school summer holidays. Marcus Rashford's campaign for an extension to the free school meal voucher scheme through the summer holidays had been dismissed despite increasing pressure from public figures and politicians. But now the government says it will set up a summer food fund for those who would usually receive free school meals during term time. Boris Johnson's spokesperson said the plan to provide around 1.3 million children in England with a six week food voucher will cost £120 million. During the coronavirus briefing Mr Johnson said he had spoken to Rashford to “congratulate him” on his campaign for free school meals over the summer, adding: “I thank him for what he’s done.” "I think it is the right thing to do and it will help the kids from the families that really need it," the prime minister said. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ |
