MHK wants school summer holiday food voucher scheme extended
An MHK has described the School Summer Holiday Food Voucher Scheme as a ‘quick fix’.
Ann Corlett stood to second a motion from Education Minister Dr Alex Allinson, as he looked to extend the vouchers over the summer holidays.
Mrs Corlett - who is a member of the department - said there’s a lack of evidence about ‘holiday hunger’ on the island.
She wants to see more research:
Tynwald members approved the proposal.
Mountain Road reopens
Route has been closed since Wednesday due to icy conditions
Patients 'strongly satisfied' with virtual GP pilot
Service to be evaluated before decision on whether to expand to other practices
New electrical vehicle training course powers up at UCM
It's for anyone who carries out EV repairs
Island to mark the golden anniversary of the Millennium of Tynwald
Tynwald Ceremony Arrangements Committee to oversee the organisation
