HC Deb 02 May 1935 vol 301 c560W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he is aware that the school children of Disley, Cheshire, are not being supplied with milk; and will he take appropriate steps to see that they are so supplied?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

I have now ascertained that milk is not being supplied to school children at Disley under the milk in schools scheme. The scheme is a voluntary one, and, while the Board of Education have expressed the hope that its development will be encouraged by local education authorities, they are not in a position to require that it should be adopted in a particular school.
