HC Deb 22 February 1978 vol 944 c672W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what would be the total cost of making free school milk available to all junior school children in State schools; what subsidy would be available from the EEC to defray this cost; and if she will make a statement.

Miss Margaret Jackson

About £20 million a year for England and Wales at current prices. This would qualify for an EEC subsidy of about £4.7 million at the current rate of approximately 3p per pint.
