§ Mr. Messerasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the danger of malnutrition amongst school-children arising from rationing and rising costs, he will make provision for the supply of free milk to all school-children?
§ Mr. RamsbothamThe existing law does not admit of the supply of free milk except to necessitous under-nourished children, but in nearly all public elementary schools milk is available under the Milk in Schools Scheme at less than half the ordinary retail price.
