Fury at meagre free school meals parcels in north Essex A DESPERATE mum was left distraught after receiving a manky free school meal package to feed her daughter during the lockdown. Downing Street has admitted the contents of some are “completely unacceptable” and the Government is looking into the issue. It came as it faced calls to urgently roll out its national free school meal voucher scheme after images shared on social media showed poor quality and low value packages sent to families during the lockdown. Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford – who has been behind a drive to get free school meals to children who need them – called for the system to be fixed “quickly”.
