§ 63. Mr. Callaghanasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that, because of inadequate kitchen accommodation at the school, a number of children attending Victoria Boys' School, Penarth, cannot be supplied with school dinners; and what he proposes to do.
§ Mr. VosperYes, Sir. My right hon. Friend has already asked the local education authority to consider providing additional meals for this school from the kitchen of another school where there is spare capacity.
§ Mr. CallaghanIs there a statutory obligation to provide dinners?
§ Mr. VosperThere is a statutory obligation to provide dinners where the conditions allow. There have been difficulties in this school, but I hope that this suggestion will overcome them.
