49482 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: How many, if any, school lunches were delivered late during the week of October 6th 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 6 October 2025, the School Lunch Collective delivered 472,803 lunches and informed the Ministry that 52 schools received lunches late. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 49479 (2025).
