HC Deb 05 June 1930 vol 239 cc2367-8
49. Mr. GOULD

asked the President of the Board of Education the number of schools and scholars who are receiving a daily ration of milk during school hours in the administrative county of Somerset?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I understand that, under the auspices of the National Milk Publicity Council, arrangements have been made for a daily supply of milk to about 60 children attending the Christ Church Infants' School at Frome. I hope that similar arrangements will shortly be made in other schools in the county.

Mr. GOULD

Is it the right hon. Gentleman's intention to call for a report as to the effect upon the health and lives of the school children?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I have not intended in this particular instance to do so.

Mr. GOULD

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider that point?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

Yes, Sir.
