§ 60. Mr. M. Stewartasked the Minister of Education for what reasons, other than reduction of expenditure, he proposes to 192W discontinue the supply of milk to school children at weekends and holidays, and to reduce the quantity supplied to children in nursery schools.
§ Mr. VosperMost pupils taking school milk at weekends are at independent boarding schools. Very few children from other schools attend the special centres open on Saturdays and during holidays, and these centres are expensive to administer. There is no good reason why pupils in nursery schools should have a larger allowance than pupils under five in nursery classes and ordinary classes.
