HC Deb 04 March 1971 vol 812 c498W
46. Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many children in nursery schools and other pre-school establishments will be eligible for free milk under the new arrangements.

Mrs. Thatcher

The new arrangements for free milk do not affect the eligibility of the children in question. It is estimated that 116,000 pupils in maintained nursery schools and classes will be eligible in 1971–72.
