§ 54. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Education what are the economies likely to result in a full year from the proposed withdrawal of the supply of milk to children at weekends and in the holidays, respectively, and from the reduction to one-third of a pint a day to most children.
§ Mr. VosperThe annual savings from the withdrawal of weekend and holiday milk are likely to be respectively about £60,000 and £40,000 and will affect about 66,000 children out of more than 5 million who take school milk. The only children affected by the reduction to one-third of a pint will be the 24,000 children in nursery schools. This will save about £40,000 a year.
