How your local MPS voted

EAST Yorkshire MPS were split on Wednesday’s motion to extend free school meals to children through the holidays, including 22,438 locally.

The Labour motion, which was rejected with 261 votes in favour and 322 against, saw local MPS largely vote on party lines.

But Scunthorpe’s Conservative MP Holly Mumby-croft broke with her party and voted in favour of extending free school meals through the half-term and Christmas holidays.

Brigg and Goole’s Andrew Percy and Graham Stuart of Beverley and Holderness, also

Conservative, did not vote.

The motion, which followed a campaign from footballer Marcus Rashford during the summer, could have provided some 1.4m children in England with meals according figures for those eligible.

A total of 10,804 Hull children, 6,740 from the East Riding and 4,894 from North Lincolnshire are eligible for free school meals.
