HC Deb 26 March 1953 vol 513 cc86-7W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Education whether she will impress upon local education authorities the desirability of increasing the consumption of English fruit in schools.

Miss Horsbrugh

No. Local education authorities are aware of the value of fresh fruit as part of the school dinner, and I feel sure that most of the fruit they buy is home-grown.
