HC Deb 22 January 1953 vol 510 c60W
Lieut.-Commander Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what changes he is considering in the charges made for school dinners.

Mr. J. Stuart

After a full review of all the circumstances, I have decided to increase the normal charge for school dinners in each education area by 2d. with effect from 1st March. A circular is being sent to education authorities informing them of the decision and asking them to consider whether their arrangements for the remission of charges in whole or part need amendment to avoid hardship.
