§ 80. Mr. T. Smithasked the Minister of Food whether he will consider the desirability of making arrangements to supply old age pensioners with one pint of milk daily, either free or at a reduced price?
§ Major Sir James Edmondson (Vice-Chamberlain of the Household)I have been asked to reply. I presume that my hon. Friend has in mind the possibility of extending the National Milk Scheme to old age pensioners. I would refer him to 825 the answer given on 8th August to my hon. Friends the Members for Camlachie (Mr. Stephen) and Earl Stirling (Mr. Woodburn).
§ Mr. SmithI hope the hon. and gallant Gentleman will appreciate that some old age pensioners have difficulty in purchasing milk even with their supplementary pensions?
