§ 87 Mr. W. Shepherdasked the Minister of Education the number of complaints he has received about the waste of milk in schools; and what steps he is taking to obtain general reports upon such wastage.
§ Mr. TomlinsonApart from two complaints in general terms, I received five specific complaints in 1947; four proved unfounded after investigation and one is under consideration. By arrangement with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Food, I am able to follow up every month, in consultation with the local education authorities, any case where the amount of milk ordered appears questionable. I am satisfied from this continuous review that the scheme is administered with great care.
