An extra £280m over three years is to be spent on improving school meals in England - as TV chef Jamie Oliver's campaign on the issue reaches a climax.
At least 50p will be spent on each primary school lunch and 60p in secondaries. Some primaries currently spend as little as 37p on ingredients.

Handing in a 271,000-name petition to Downing Street, the chef regretted it had taken a TV show to get changes.
