said there were ‘plans ready to go’ if the government orders schools to close their doors.
Mr Johnson said: ‘Gavin Williamson, the Education Secretary, has a plan to make sure that parents with kids who are eligible for free school meals get the compensation or the treatment they need one way or the other, we certainly anticipated that.’Teaching experts have said the current advice is very conflicting

NEU joint general secretaries Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney said there was an ‘apparent contradiction’ between banning mass gatherings and keeping schools open, in a letter to Mr Johnson on Tuesday.
