David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the school lunch budget and opportunities for businesses

School lunches look to open up a number of opportunities for businesses.  The Government says it's saving $130 million a year by reducing the cost per meal from $8 to $3.  The Compass Group has been contracted as the lead supplier.  Associate Education Minister David Seymour told Mike Hosking other businesses will be able to get involved.  He says that for example, the programme will need 18 tonnes of chicken a fortnight, so there will be opportunities in that.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
