§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether a schoolgirl mother under the age of 16 years could claim free welfare milk and vitamins on grounds of her own low income under the regulations that existed before 24 November 1980; whether she can now do so under the current regulations; and if a change has been made, what was the reason for it and on what date he brought it to the attention of Parliament.
§ Sir George YoungThe supply of welfare milk and vitamins is provided for in the Welfare Food Order 1980, 299W SI 1648, and is unaffected by the changes in the supplementary benefits regulations to which the hon. Member refers.
