HC Deb 07 December 1967 vol 755 c365W
61. Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science by what authority local education authorities withhold free school milk from children at independent schools; if he will seek to amend the regulations to end this discrimination against one class; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Walker

There are no regulations governing this matter. Local Education Authorities have full discretion under Section 78(2) of the Education Act, 1944.
