Parents who receive child tax credit but not working tax credit already qualify for free school lunches for their children under the Education (Free School Lunches) (Prescribed Tax Credits) (England) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/383). This Order enables Wolverhampton City Council to run a pilot scheme for three years to allow parents who receive child tax credit to qualify for free school lunches for their children, even when they also receive working tax credit. The Order ceases to have effect after 31st October 2012.
The Order prescribes, for the purposes of section 512ZB of the Education Act 1996, that where a parent is in receipt of child tax credit in the defined circumstances their child is entitled to free school lunches.
The defined circumstances are firstly that the child must be a registered pupil at a school maintained by Wolverhampton City Council; and secondly that the award of child tax credit must be based on an annual income not exceeding the amount determined for the purposes of section 7(1)(a) of the Tax Credits Act 2002, currently £16,040 per annum.
No impact assessment has been prepared for this Order as it will have no effect on the costs of business.
