HC Deb 21 December 1972 vol 848 cc450-1W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the Committee on the Medical Aspects of Food Policy has yet reported; if he will give a summary of its findings on the effects of children of seven to 11 years of age being without milk at school; and if he will make a statement.

Sir K. Joseph

I expect very shortly to receive the Report of the Sub-Committee on Nutritional Surveillance of the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy. As regards the monitoring study recommended by the sub-committee for the age group in question and already initiated, I can add nothing to the replies I gave to the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Meacher) on 10th and 16th March 1972.—[Vol. 832, c.413; Vol. 833, c. 179.]
