75. Miss Rathboneasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that there are many children of school age unable, owing to the closing of schools or for other reasons, to attend school, who are not at present able to obtain free or cheapened milk; and whether he will secure arrangements for the supply of milk to such children?
§ Mr. RamsbothamIn many areas where children of school age are unable to receive instruction at school owing to the closure of their schools, arrangements have been made whereby these children can attend schools or centres in order to take free or cheap milk, but it is not easy to secure the attendance of children for this purpose. If the hon. Member can give me particulars of any areas where such facilities do not exist, I shall be glad to inquire into the matter.
