The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2016-01-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many school pupils were eligible for free school meals in each London borough in December 2015.

Mr Sam Gyimah

The department does not hold data for the number of pupils eligible for free school meals specifically in December 2015. The latest published figures, drawn from the January 2015 school census and broken down by local authority, are available in tables 8a, 8b and 8c of the ‘Schools, Pupils and their Characteristics: January 2015’ statistics.[1]
