HC Deb 05 May 1936 vol 311 c1510
25. Mr. GALLACHER

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will consider the Circulars 1437 and 1443 of the Board of Education which provide for the supply of milk and meals for children attending public elementary schools with a view to extending similar provisions to Scottish schools?

Sir G. COLLINS

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his similar question of 19th March, 1936, in which it was indicated that a circular (of which I am sending him a copy) dealing with the school milk schemes and with the general powers for feeding in schools was issued to all Scottish Education Authorities on 31st October, 1934.

Mr. GALLACHER

Is the right hon. Gentleman contemplating building restaurants in connection with the schools in Scotland, and, if not, will he give the matter consideration?

Sir G. COLLINS

That is a matter which must rest with the education authority in the area.
