HC Deb 01 July 1971 vol 820 c171W
54. Mr. Urwin

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations she has received from the Durham County Council concerning the withdrawal of free milk in schools; and what replies she has sent.

Mrs. Thatcher

The Durham County Council has asked me on two occasions not to proceed with the proposal to withdraw free milk from the older primary school children. I have indicated that I am unable to accede to its request.
