§ 55. Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services why the Form FW 66, on which families with three or more holders of cheap milk tokens could apply for free milk, was withdrawn the day after the scheme came into operation; why no advice was issued publicly when the form was withdrawn regarding alternative action by eligible persons who had not yet claimed this benefit or been automatically identified by the Welfare Foods Service; and if he will make a statement.
Dr. DunwoodyI think my hon. Friend is under a misapprehension. This form was needed only for temporary use between February and May, 1968, at the beginning of the new scheme. Advice on how to get free milk is given to every mother from the time she first becomes pregnant.
