HC Deb 23 July 1946 vol 425 c318W
71. Mr. Willis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of pupils, expressed as a percentage, at fee-paying schools under the education authority in Edinburgh, who are in receipt of school meals; and the similar figures for non-fee-paying schools.

Mr. Westwood

In February, 1946, the latest date for which statistics are available, the number of pupils in the fee-paying schools under the Edinburgh Education Authority who were receiving mid-day meals at school, expressed as a percentage of the total roll of such schools, was 28. The corresponding figure for pupils in the non-fee-paying schools was 24.
