47. Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to maintain the operation of the school meals service, in view of the threatened action by the National Union of Teachers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Denis Howell

The responsibility for operating the Schools Meals Service rests with local education authorities, and I am certain that they will do all in their power to maintain it.
