, Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond said Wednesday in his spring statement, in a fully funded government program aimed at tackling period poverty.
Sanitary products will be available to secondary school and college students, who are typically between the ages of 11 and 18.The program, which will be developed by the Department for Education, will be implemented in the next school year, Hammond said.
Oh good, I'll take Gillette razors. I hate paying for them.
Way to go 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Why do they get it for free or do woman have special treatment of course cnn
Nothing is “free”!
It's all about priorites I would say. Also it's not for free. Some people are working hard and paying taxes so those can offer.
They can’t be free...someone HAS to pay. smh
Unless these companies are giving them away, these sanitary products are NOT free. Someone is paying for them.
Free stuff works for me-- Now if Bernie can swing this i will def vote for him!!! Free KFC!
need this products for the students
Nice one but it will kill that business line and destroy competition
Shit it should be free for ALL women..
Fake News CNN Viewers, WOW!
'Free?' Nothing is free. Someone is paying somewhere for these 'free' items. Maybe to the student it's free ... but their parents are probably paying the taxes to support this ... aka ... not free. But, it's good I guess.
I agree with tax free.
nothings free. Everything is paid for with taxes.
Perfect!!!!!
I wonder who’s paying for it? That’s right, the parents...
How l love this
Clean products?

Leftists constantly use the word free... it's not. So do local taxes go up? Attendance cost or fees raised? Does a school program get nerfed fiscally to make up the difference?
This is important news out of Europe, but I wonder why high school only. For many girls, onset of menustration is well before high school.
Yay, England! And yay, Scotland!
Bit of a bandage ....we need to cure the wound. Cut poverty! And schools having to close early to save money? Let's tackle the WHOLE problem.
We need to stop calling this stuff “free”. How about “100% paid for by English citizens” instead of “free”.
Kotex with wings for me!
Good, their teeth are awful
Wales has free prescriptions soooooo
Can we send MAGA children there?
