School meals report doesn't let people know about [CENSORED]

Thursday, 10 April 2025 12:10

Education Minister Daphne Caine says a school meals review report has been censored for a variety of reasons.

In the House of Keys this week she was asked why the report from her department had blacked out information such as which schools owned pieces of kitchen equipment.

Mrs Caine said the review has taken some time to complete and had been treated as a Freedom of Information request rather than a parliamentary report.

And she added that meant some information was removed so the public can't see it:
