Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Providing free school meals during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
section_headers: Providing meals or food parcels through your food provider
section_content: We know that many schools and food providers are already finding very
effective ways to ensure that eligible children already receive free healthy
meals during this period.
As schools prepare to open more widely, they should speak to their school
catering team or provider about the best arrangements for school meals.
Schools should ensure that they are supported to return to school to provide
food both for those children attending school and for those remaining at home
who are eligible for free school meals.
We have published a planning guide for
schools to help schools prepare for children returning
to school. This includes suggested approaches to help school leaders in their
decision making around school meals, including working out arrangements for
lunch so that children do not mix with children from other groups.
This could mean having several lunch sittings or serving lunch in more than
one location, including if appropriate in a classroom, or asking your caterers
to look at other flexible ways of giving pupils access to lunch such that it
can be eaten in the small group setting (for example taking cold or ‘packed’
lunches to children in the areas they are in for the day).
In addition, please speak to your catering teams and food suppliers about the
most effective ways to manage the ordering and delivery of food during this
period. This may include:

arranging fewer food deliveries each week compared with standard periods when the school is open to all pupils
ordering longer shelf life products during this period, such as frozen foods or foods that can be safely stored at room temperature

In addition to providing meals in schools, you should consider with suppliers
whether they can prepare meals or food parcels that could be collected by or
delivered to families that are not in attendance. If you do provide meals or
food parcels, ensure they are distributed in line with guidance on social
distancing at all times.
The Food Standards Agency has issued general guidance for food
businesses.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Context of answer is to ensure that children receive their free meals. Context of the question is asking for the commencement date of the extension.
Though an excellent answer about school meal planning in general during this crisis, it doesn't actually answer the question of whether or when the free school meals will be/is being extended.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Providing free school meals during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
section_headers: Free school meal eligibility
section_content: You should continue to accept and verify free school meal applications. The
eligibility criteria for free school meals can be found at apply for free
school meals.
During the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we are temporarily extending free
school meals eligibility to include some groups who have no recourse to public
funds (NRPF).
This temporary extension covers both children who are attending school and who
are at home.
See guidance for the temporary extension of free school meals eligibility to
NRPF groups for more information.
Pupils who attend a breakfast provision
We are committed to supporting schools and their pupils who would usually
benefit from the DfE breakfast programme.
If you’re on the programme, you will have received an email from the National
School Breakfast Programme about children who would normally receive a healthy
breakfast at school.
You can choose to support eligible children in the way which works best for
them, this could include:

running breakfast provision in school for children who are attending
families collecting food parcels
delivering breakfast food parcels to families

The breakfast food parcels should be arranged alongside the school’s wider
support for children on benefits-related free school meals, and schools must
follow Public Health England’s advice on social distancing at all times.
[NRPF]: no recourse to public funds
  [DfE]: Department for Education

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Discusses the meal program and does not talk about the start date of the extension.
Provides a link to answer the question on the extension of free school meals, but it was broken when I tried to peruse it.  (Would likely be an "Excellent" rating otherwise.) Provides information on a breakfast provision during this crisis, though I'm not sure how relevant that is here.
