§ Mr. Stephenasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will consider extending the cheap milk scheme so that old age pensioners may also be able to take advantage of the arrangements?
§ Mr. Woodburnasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is prepared to extend the benefits of the free or cheap milk schemes to old age pensioners?
§ Mr. BoothbyI would refer my hon. Friends to the answer I gave on 25th July to my hon. Friend the Member for Romford (Mr. Parker). I am unable at present to consider the extension of the National Milk Scheme to any classes of the population outside the categories for whom it was devised—expectant and nursing mothers and children under five years of age.
