MHK asks whether scheme will be extended over break
Extending the voucher scheme for children entitled to free school meals over the summer holiday could be a benefit to those facing financial hardship.
That's according to Garff MHK Daphne Caine, who's asking whether there are plans to continue the initiative when schools shut for the summer.
The UK government decided to continue its voucher scheme following a campaign by England footballer Marcus Rashford.
Mrs Caine fears more households could struggle this summer:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
