HC Deb 07 December 1937 vol 330 c228W
Mr. Acland

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he will give figures showing the number of children in public elementary schools receiving free meals and free milk as a proportion of the total numbers on the register; and whether he will give these figures first in relation to the country as a whole, and then in relation to the counties, the urban districts and boroughs, the county boroughs, and London?

Mr. Lindsay

The following table gives the required information. June, 1937, is the latest month not affected by school holidays for which complete figures are available.
