HC Deb 26 March 1953 vol 513 c85W
6. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Education if she is aware of the hardship caused to parents who have to pay the full price of school meals for the tiny-tots of children; and if she will take steps to reduce the charge for children under a specified age.

Miss Horsbrugh

Local education authorities may reduce the charge for school meals for all pupils in nursery schools or nursery classes, and within approved income scales may reduce or remit the charge for school dinners for other children where payment of the full charge would cause hardship to parents.
