M is the number of registered pupils in receipt of free school meals at the school on a date determined by the Secretary of State;
F is the amount determined by the Secretary of State for the purposes of section 81(2) of the 1993 Act in respect of the relevant authority and financial year in question as the amount which appears to him, after consultation with the authority, to represent, or approximate to, the expenditure to be incurred by the authority in respect of each free school meal provided by them to pupils in receipt of free school meals at relevant schools;
