The end of free school meal support in school holidays in Wales pushed a family into “sheer poverty”, a parent has said.

He and another parent have been given the go-ahead to go to court to try to get the decision reversed.

Mark, not his real name, said the Welsh government’s failure to hold a consultation before it cut the support was not fair on those who received it.

The Welsh government, which is fighting the case, said it could not comment.

      Honestly never thought of it as such, but I guess essentially yes.

      It’s quite common to see the dinner ladies in schools across the UK wearing these as part of the uniform.
