The absence of free school meals during the summer holidays means some children are going hungry, according to a leading academic and a government adviser on child health.

They came to their conclusions after talking to parents, children and staff at holiday breakfast clubs.

Researchers say some parents are skipping meals to make sure their children get food.

They are now calling for free meals for schoolchildren throughout the year.

The BBC's Jayne McCubbin reports.

This is completely depressing. Can't we have a pay it forward policy introduced in local cafes and restaurants? I'm sure lots of us would happily pay for kids to have a hot meal.
