HC Deb 03 February 1971 vol 810 cc368-9W
Mr. Oswald

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has received the resolution recently adopted by the Council of the Educational Institute of Scotland representing schoolteachers, against the Government's declared intention to abolish school milk for primary school pupils of over seven years of age; and whether, in view of this, he will reconsider his policy so that such children will not be deprived of school milk.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I do not think this resolution provides any ground for a change of policy. Older primary pupils who need milk for medical reasons will continue to get it.
