HC Deb 29 April 1971 vol 816 c175W
49. Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will consider the publication of a leaflet to be distributed to pupils in all schools, explaining entitlement to free school meals.

Mrs. Thatcher

Free school meals have a prominent place in the major publicity campaign, including 30 million leaflets on welfare and social security benefits, launched by the Government on 14th April. I have had early reports that as a result many more parents are making inquiries of local education authorities.
