A Northumberland Tory MP won't be supporting a bill on free school meals for all primary children.
Ian Levy, who represents Blyth Valley, says hard working families should not pay for meals for children of high income families.
The Labour party is currently trying to change the law that would mean all primary pupils in England would get access to free school meals.

Mr Levy said: "I believe there is nothing wrong with the free school meals system, if you need a free school meal, if your child needs a free school meal, they should have a free school meal.
"I totally, totally support that. I want to ask you a question, do you believe if mum and dad have a joint income up to let's say £750,000, £800,000 a year coming into the house, their children should have a free school meal?
"I don't think that's right, that's what the Labour party says is correct that it should be free school meals for all.
"I think if you need a free school meal, get a free school meal but I don't think it should just be hard earned money from taxpayers up and down the country to support millionaires - that's wrong.
"If you need a free school meal, get a free school meal and I will support that."
Labour MP Zarah Sultana is trying to change the law to widen the scheme to ensure no child goes hungry.
A bill will be brought forward to extend free dinner to all primary school children.
At the moment, all kids in England get free school meals until the end of Year 2 and then they only qualify if their household receives Universal Credit with a total income of £7,400 or less.
Children eligible for free school meals can buy food and drink at school to the value of £2.30 each day and have free access to the Holiday Activities and Food programme, which provides food, activities and childcare for eligible children during the school holidays.
Around 800,000 children living in poverty miss out on free school meals due to strict eligibility rules.
In Wales, the Labour Government has committed to free school meals for every child by 2024, while in Scotland the SNP extended free school meals in 2020.
