Jude Robinson has welcomed the extension of free school meals for low income families announced in the Chancellor's Pre-Budget Report today.

 

Jude said:  " This will be particularly effective at tackling child poverty in Cornwall where wages are not yet in line with other areas. This is a measure that the Labour Party in Cornwall has lobbied government for and is in our local manifesto. 

 

" Protecting pensioners with an above inflation increase is also very welcome and more support for the green energy. Above all, help for unemployed people, help to get back to work and supporting the economic recovery are absolutely key to Cornwall's future."
