HC Deb 02 July 1936 vol 314 cc626-7W
Mr. JOHNSTON

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the distressing physical condition of the children in the Special Areas as revealed in the annual report of the National Council of Social Service, he can say what steps the Government proposes to take to secure an adequate daily ration of milk to babies, children of pre-school age, and nursing mothers?

Sir K. WOOD

I am unable to trace this reference in any recent report of the National Council of Social Service. With regard to the supply of milk to young children and nursing mothers, I would refer the right hon. Gentleman to the answer given by the Prime Minister to his question on this subject on the 7th April.
