Jamie Oliver comments on school food funding
24 October, 2008
Jamie Oliver’s claim that the majority of school kitchens do not have proper facilities because of insufficient funding has been backed by the catering industry.
The school dinners campaigner said a “personal survey” had convinced him that kitchens in six out of 10 schools would be condemned if they were not controlled by local councils.
Oliver added that problems highlighted three years ago in his Jamie’s School Dinners TV series still had not been addressed, and warned that the current level of funding was simply “not enough” to solve the problem.
