§ Mr. Lewis Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the monitoring scheme used by the Chief Medical Officer to detect adverse effects of the withdrawal of school milk; what medical evidence there is that adverse effects are reversible; and if she will publish the medical advice she has received on the adverse effects of the withdrawal of free school milk.
§ Mrs. ThatcherAs I said in my reply of 10th November to the hon. Member, a sub-committee of the Committee on the Medical Aspects of Food Policy is currently formulating monitoring proposals. When its report has been received, 449W consideration will be given to the question of publication. As to the second part of the Question, there is nothing I can add to my previous reply. The answer to the last part is that I have received no such advice.—[Vol. 825, c. 170–1.]
