§ Mr. T. Smithasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether he will give a list of those local education authorities which are exercising their powers under Sections 82 to 84 of the Education Act, 1921, only to the extent of providing free milk for necessitous children?
Mr. LindsayAccording to the latest information available 119 local education authorities are exercising their powers under Sections 82–84 of the Education Act, 1921, only to the extent of providing free milk for necessitous children, or in a few cases milk together with sandwiches, biscuits, or other light refreshments, as distinct from ordinary solid meals. I am sending the hon. Member a list of these authorities.
