§ Dr. Littleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will make arrangements whereby those who are drawing sick benefit from Health Insurance will be supplied with free milk?
§ Mr. MabaneThe object of supplying milk free of cost or at a reduced price under the National Milk Scheme is to ensure that it is consumed in sufficient quantities by very young children and expectant mothers, for all of whom it is an essential food. My Noble Friend would not feel justified in extending the arrangement to persons who are drawing sick benefit from health insurance.
