Both Labour's Kieran McAnulty and National's Chris Bishop agreed it was a "good thing" that more children would be fed following changes to the Healthy School Lunches Programme.
Associate Education Minister David Seymour said the Government will feed the same number of school students and extend the Healthy School Lunches Programme to 10,000 preschoolers.
Seymour said his scheme would spend $107 million less than the Labour Government by ordering items in bulk.
Speaking to Breakfast this morning, National's Chris Bishop said the Government's changes to the school lunch programme created savings by stripping it "back to basics".
