§ 50. Mr. HEPWORTHasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether, in connection with the scheme for providing milk for school children, it is proposed to leave open the method of payment or to instruct the different educational authorities concerned to defray the necessary cost?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMMy Noble Friend is unable to add anything material to the statement made by his right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture on 22nd 190 February pending the submission of the programme of the Milk Marketing Boards. One of the objects of the proposed programme is to encourage an increased consumption of milk by making supplies available to school children at reduced cost to parents.
§ Mr. KIRKWOODI would like to ask how it is possible for the Government to encourage the consumption of milk when we have a statement from the convener of the health committee in Glasgow that it will cost Glasgow £16,000 more to supply necessitous children and mothers under this new arrangement?
