margin: 0px 0px 20px;">“Following the game today [Saturday], I had a good conversation with the Prime Minister to better understand the proposed plan, and I very much welcome the steps that have been taken to combat child food poverty in the UK,” Rashford explained</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">“There is still so much more to do, and my immediate concern is the approximate 1.7 million children who miss out on free school meals, holiday provision and Healthy Start vouchers because their family income isn’t quite low enough, but the intent the Government has shown today is nothing but positive and they should be recognized for that.</p></div></div>.
