It makes you wonder who these people are who think this would be such a good idea - probably have no kids themselves or have such highly paid jobs that they don't need their child benefit money.
My youngest is still at secondary school and takes a packed lunch for a few reasons, one of the main ones being that he is allergic to dairy products & I can make sure he only eats what he should. Could the school canteen guarantee that - I doubt it because it is surprising what is in some foods, even the same thing, for example tinned spaghetti can vary from brand to brand.
Also, if they're going to replace child benefit with free meals, what about also providing free uniforms which almost every school including primary now have and which can cost an absolute fortune.
