HC Deb 15 May 1956 vol 552 c1807
18. Mrs. Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what changes he proposes to introduce affecting distribution of milk and meals to school children during holiday periods.

Mr. J. Stuart

I am considering whether there should be any change in the present arrangements for supplying milk in holiday periods and I hope to reach a decision shortly.

Mrs. Mann

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that, in spite of the fact that the milk has been cut and that the meals have been stopped for holiday periods in England, we feel that there are often special considerations applicable to Scotland, and would he take those special factors into consideration?

Mr. Stuart

I assure the hon. Lady that I shall take those considerations into account. That is certainly my intention.
