45377 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: How many, if any, school lunches were delivered late during the week of September 15th 2025, expressed as an overall number?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) does not track lunches across all suppliers and internal meal providers in the programme. During the week of 15 September 2025, the School Lunch Collective (SLC) delivered 475,439 lunches and informed the Ministry that no schools received lunches late. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 45373 (2025).
