Following on from FOI number above.

Only Grainville School has secured continued sponsorship for breakfast being provided.

How much does it cost Haute Vallee and Le Rocquier? Provide figures separately for each school for an academic year and the last 3 years.

What government policy exists around providing free breakfast for children in school?

Why should the taxpayer pay for this?

Why are government funding this?
