Marcus Rashford addressed the House of Commons petitions committee on his free school meals campaign. The Manchester United footballer has been campaigning on the issue of child food poverty since the start of the pandemic and has achieved two of his original demands – the provision of meals and activities to low-income families during school holidays and the expansion of the healthy start voucher scheme. He has also called for a full-scale review of the free school meals system. 'It seems like we have taken steps forward but in my mind we’ve got a million miles still to go,' he said.
