HC Deb 21 May 1953 vol 515 c156W
26. Mr. Skeffington

asked the Minister of Education how many children were receiving school meals in June, 1952; and how many at the latest computation this year in the urban district of Hayes and Harlington.

Miss Horsbrugh

2,806,076 children in grant-aided schools in England and Wales received school dinners on a day in June, 1952, including 5,008 in the urban district of Hayes and Harlington. No figures have yet been received for this year, but I have asked local education authorities for a return of the number of school dinners provided on a day in June.
