Paul Holmes: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) what percentage of pupils in (a) maintained secondary schools and (b) grammar schools were eligible for free school meals in the last year for which figures are available; (2) what percentage of pupils in (a) maintained secondary schools and (b) grammar schools had special educational needs in the last year for which...
Vernon Coaker: The available information on the average expenditure per school pupil in Plymouth is shown in the table. School based expenditure per pupil in local authority maintained primary, secondary and special schools from 1992-93 to 2007-08 Part A: Total (including pre-primary) 1992-93 1993-94 1994-95 1995-96 1996-97 1997-98 1998-99 England 1,960 1,950 1,990 2,020...
Alex Maskey: ..., the Minister of Education, despite advice to the contrary from the Department and many other commentators, including some MLAs, ensured that provision was made for Romany children to receive free school meals? They were not entitled to that under the legislation and the state’s immigration provisions. I suggest that other Ministers do likewise and examine how they can act without...
Roberta Blackman-Woods: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families which local authorities applied to participate in the free school meal pilots.
Adam Ingram: ...the debate so that, as Bill Aitken said, we can end the parliamentary session on a high note. The motion offers us the chance to commend and publicise in the chamber the work that is done by Mary's Meals. The movement's contribution is considerable. However, the motion also gives us the chance to endorse the immense contribution of those Scottish schools, churches, groups and individuals...
Evan Harris: As the Member’s explanatory statement says, amendment 253 is an attempt to argue that there should be no discrimination on the ground of religion in admission to state schools—and to academies, which are state schools for the purposes that concern us here. I wish to question the Government’s justification for allowing schools to discriminate on the basis of religion. My...
Caitriona Ruane: It cannot be said that grammar schools are the only schools that are diverse. Indeed, some of the greatest diversity that I have seen is in our secondary schools, and there are a greater number of free school meals children and newcomer children in secondary schools compared to grammar schools. Indeed, there is a very good secondary school in the Member’s own constituency that offers...
Adrian Sanders: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what research his Department has evaluated for benchmarking purposes on comparative nutritional standards in school meals in EU member states.
David McLetchie: ...an even bigger and all-encompassing one. If councils are to have a separate and distinct democratic mandate in point of time, is it not reasonable for them to decide whether to introduce free school meals for all pupils in primary 1 to 3 rather than have that dictated by the national Government? There might be many other areas in which a local education budget could be spent far more...
Nick Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what proportion of pupils eligible to receive free school meals achieved level 4 or above in (a) English and (b) mathematics in Key Stage 2 tests in each year since 2005.

Jim Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what results each local authority in England achieved against the criteria included in the National Challenge in each of the last five years for which figures are available; what percentage of children met the criteria in each such year; what percentage of children were entitled to free school meals in each local education...
Nick Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families with reference to the Answer of 21 July 2008, Official Report, column 929W, on children: disadvantaged, how many and what proportion of (a) all pupils and (b) pupils eligible to receive free school meals in each local authority area did not attain any GCSE grades higher than a D in 2008.
Jim Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what results each local authority-supported school in (a) Newcastle, (b) North Tyneside constituency and (c) Northumberland achieved against each of the new criteria included in the National Challenge in each of the last five years for which figures are available; what percentage of children at each school has been eligible...
Michael Gove: ...him that that is not a commentary on his Department's Aimhigher programme. I also congratulate the Minister of State, the hon. Member for Gedling (Mr. Coaker), on being appointed Minister for schools and learners. He is a member of the NUT, and I am delighted that his union endorsed our proposals yesterday, calling them "imaginative" and in the interests of pupils. It is good to have his...
Karen Buck: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what proportion of children are entitled to free school meals in each local authority area; and what the percentage change in such proportions was in each area between 1997 and 2008.
Alan Milburn: ...to leave? We know that when universities broaden their base for recruitment, it does not lower levels of achievement. Figures from the Higher Education Funding Council show that students from state schools, once they get into university, perform at the same level as—or at a higher level than—students from private schools who might have got higher grades at A-level. The hon. Member for...
Angela Watkinson: ...and their homework, but these children do all that for themselves as well as caring for their parent. They help to wash and dress them, then perhaps write a shopping list for the food for family meals that they need to collect on the way home from school. Lunch time for those young carers is not taken up by clubs or sports or playing with their friends. It is an opportunity to go home and...
Kenny MacAskill: After the launch, I had a meal with the chief constable and the director general of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency. Obviously, I do not interfere with operational police matters, but I can assure Johann Lamont that chief constable Stephen House views domestic violence as being one of the most serious matters facing not only Strathclyde Police but Scotland as a whole. He takes...
Harriet Harman: As I said to the right hon. Member for East Yorkshire (Mr. Knight), there is a debate on food, farming and environment next Thursday. The questions of food labelling, nutritional standards, school meals and healthy diets should perhaps be the subject of a topical debate.
