HC Deb 30 September 1941 vol 374 c496W
Mr. Boothby

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is satisfied that the local authorities are taking adequate steps to provide milk for schoolchildren?

Mr. Johnston

Education authorities have recently made considerable progress in developing the supply of milk to schoolchildren, but I am not satisfied that further progress cannot be made. My officers and those of the Milk Marketing Board are working with the education authorities to remove the difficulties of supply and distribution which arise in present circumstances, especially in the more sparsely populated areas of the country.
