WITH reference to the letter in the Evening Advertiser in response to the article entitled "Dinner Ladies to Learn Fate." I am afraid that Mr Rudd has got this completely wrong. Swindon Services are not responsible for providing the money for school meals. This money comes from education via the schools themselves who, unfortunately, have decided to spend this money elsewhere. Swindon Services provides nutritious meals for £1.50, less than a hot meal from McDonald's and it is not a case of putting more cash into this service.
