In the economic crisis, all children should receive free school breakfast, believes the Green Party. According to spokesperson Per Bolund, children come to school hungry. – We want all schools in the country to serve free breakfast to students, he says. It shall apply in pre-school, pre-school class, primary school and upper secondary school. Package of measures The proposal is part of a package of measures with support for families with children presented by MP. Several of the proposals are already known. These include abolished VAT on basic goods, increased subsidies for families with children and a commission against child poverty. The MP also wants evictions of families with children to be stopped during the crisis. The costs amount to billions. Free school breakfast is estimated to cost a little under one billion, scrapped food VAT around five billion kroner and increased subsidies just under three billion kroner.
