London's mayor Sadiq Khan has announced he is launching a £130m scheme to give every primary school pupil free school meals for the next academic year.

The mayor's office said it estimated the one-off funding could help more than 270,000 children in the capital during the 2023-24 academic year.

The mayor's office said the scheme, which will be implemented in September and run during term-time only for the length of the academic year, was "one-off funding from additional business rates income".
