Evening Times: "A NEW campaign to give free school meals to all Scottish children was launched today.
It is the second time the Scottish Socialist Party has lodged a free school meals bill.
If passed, the bill would require councils to provide every school child with a free school meal which meets strict nutritional standards.
In 2002 party leader Tommy Sheridan submitted a similar bill.
Although it received widespread public support and some cross party backing, the bill was defeated.
The SSP say they decided the time was right to try again after seeing the public reaction to Jamie Oliver's Channel 4 TV series Jamie's School Dinners, which exposed the low nutritional value of many school meals.
MSP Frances Curran lodged the bill today, backed by the Free School Meals Campaign, which includes One Parent Families Scotland, the Scottish Churches Social Inclusion Network and the EIS."
