HC Deb 26 February 1968 vol 759 c255W
Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what he estimates will be the annual saving as a result of the discontinuing of milk for secondary school pupils.

Mr. Ross

About £0.7 million in a full year.

Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his present expenditure on school milk for secondary school pupils in Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, Glasgow and Edinburgh, respectively; and what savings he anticipates when milk for secondary school pupils is abolished.

Mr. Ross

It is estimated that in a full year the education authorities' expenditure on school milk for secondary pupils is:

£
Ayrshire 24,000
Lanarkshire 81,000
Glasgow 150,000
Edinburgh 53,000

The discontinuance of this provision will produce savings of the same order.
