§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many local authorities have informed him of their intention to make economies in school meals as recently outlined by Essex County Council in its schools; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Edward ShortNone. Provided the nutritional standard of the school meal is not impaired, changes in the menu are a matter for individual local education authorities and need not be notified to my Department.
