HC Deb 17 March 1955 vol 538 c136W
44. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Education whether he will make arrangements for children who have attained the age of five but who cannot be admitted to school owing to a shortage of places to receive free milk.

Mr. Vosper

Local education authorities have no power to provide milk for children who are not attending school. The number of children affected is very small and should grow less.
