Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many schoolchildren in Carmarthenshire are eligible to receive free milk in schools at present; and what the figure will be when changes announced by the Government take effect in April.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The number of school children eligible for free school milk in Carmarthenshire at present is 13,445. It is estimated that following the implementation of the proposed legislation the figure will be 6,594. This figure does not include pupils qualifying for free milk on medical grounds.
