Conservatives about to abandon school meals manifesto pledge
15 Jun 2017
The Conservative Party is about to abandon its manifesto pledge to scrap universal infant free school meals and replace it with a breakfast scheme, according to The Sun.
The Sun reports that government sources have said that the Prime Minister will drop the pledge because of a ‘major reality check’ after failing to win a majority in the General Election.
A statement is expected in the Queen’s Speech on Wednesday, which will outline the new government's plans for the next term.
