Free school meals

edit

It is generally standard and conventional for MPs in the same party as the government to vote against Opposition Day Motions. It would be noteworthy if Mark Fletcher had voted alongside Labour MPs in favour of the Opposition Day Motion, but I'm not convinced personally that the content that he had voted against an Opposition Day Motion is signifcant enough to be included in his biography.

It is sourced from a long list of over 300 Conservative MPs who voted against the Opposition Day Motion, but apart from this long list, lacks a source to specifically mention Fletcher's name as being significant that he voted in this way alongside the government. My understanding also is that the goverment later said that they would indeed extend free school meals for children in England. In my view this content doesn't need to be included in the article. Two Administrators Keith D and Timrollpickering seem to agree with me, having previously removed similar content about free school meals in this article from various IP editors.
