A few facts on this week’s Free School Meals (FSM) debate, which you’ll have seen in the news a lot.

It's important, so please take a few moment to read what I have written here, where I try and explain the issues to you. As ever, there’s more to this than meets the eye, and there’s a bit of detail in it.

Firstly, this week's vote wasn’t a vote on a Bill. It wasn’t something that would change the law. It wasn’t a vote that would provide any money to anybody.
