UCL's Prosperity 2030 report

“The centrepiece of the proposal would be a network of around 9,500 Community Food Centres, which the report describes as the 'backbone' of the National Food Service.”

“Taxpayers would fund the scheme, with the report estimating adult meals would cost £2.50 and children's meals would cost £2.”

“It estimates the full package of reforms would require an additional £101billion a year in taxpayer funding through a simplified levy system.”

“It estimates that eight pounds in every 10 raised under the new system would come from people earning above-average incomes.”

“A Community Food Centre network would be around twice the size of the British Restaurants' communal kitchens established during the Second World War.”
