55922 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: How many, if any, school lunches were delivered late during the week of November 24th 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 on a weekly basis. During the week of 24 November 2025, the Ministry was advised by the School Lunch Collective that eight schools received their lunches late. This equated to 1,861 school lunches.
