The expansion of free meals to include P6 and P7 children will cost an additional £170,000 a year.
Inverclyde Council has announced it will provide free school meals for all primary school pupils from August.
The Scottish government planned free school meals for all primary pupils by 2022, but the rollout for P6 and P7 has been delayed until 2024. An additional £350,000 will be used to furnish catering and dining facilities to cope with the increased demand.Deputy first minister Shona Robison told BBC Scotland last week that the Scottish government was committed to its policy of providing free school meals for all primary school children, but said budget considerations would mean the proposal for secondary schools would have to be looked at again.
