HC Deb 16 July 1956 vol 556 c848
43. Miss Vickers

asked the Minister of Health whether he will bring the allowance of welfare milk in day nurseries into line with that which will be available in future in nursery schools.

The Minister of Health (Mr. R. H. Turton)

Yes, Sir. The allowance of welfare milk in day nurseries will be ⅓ pint per child daily from the 1st September next.

Miss Vickers

Whilst thanking my right hon. Friend for that Answer, may I ask whether this milk will be free and if it will be in addition to the cheap milk allowed to the mother?

Mr. Turton

It will be free and in addition to the cheap milk.
