A local pub has reached out to families who are struggling financially by offering to feed their children during half term.
This follows the news that Conservative MPs rejected a Labour motion calling on an extension of free school meals for children throughout the school holidays.
The movement was blocked by 322 votes to 261, a majority of 61.
Milton Keynes MPs Ben Everitt and Iain Stewart are amongst those who blocked the plans.
They have since put this down to Universal Credit being the "best" option for low-income families.
MPs have since been heavily criticised. Labour-led Milton Keynes Council has said thousands of families have been left "in a vulnerable position" after the Government's "heartless" decision to cut free school lunches during school holidays.
And now local organisations are taking matters into their own hands by offering to give local children meals for free next week.
The Kings Arms in Newport Pagnell says that people struggling to feed their children will receive a hot meal "no questions asked". Those who are interested should call Kat on 01908 610033.
