HC Deb 18 May 1950 vol 475 c165W
17. Mr. Turton

asked the Minister of Education what steps he takes to encourage local education authorities to obtain fresh eggs and vegetables from local sources for school canteens.

Mr. Tomlinson

School canteens have to comply with the Ministry of Food Regulations governing the purchase of eggs by catering establishments. It is for local education authorities to make their own arrangements for vegetable supplies to their canteens and to secure the best food value on the best terms.
