David Seymour: ACT Party leader hopeful the school lunch programme will continue without issues - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

David Seymour's confident the Government's school lunch programme will continue without issue - despite a provider going into liquidation.

Libelle Group was contracted to make about 125,000 meals each day.

Minister-in-charge David Seymour says its collapse won't cost anything extra.

He says the contract remains between the Ministry of Education and Compass.

"Any issues that may be reported in the media are between Compass and other businesses - and I don't want to sound like I'm avoiding the issue, but it is actually something that needs to be left to them."
