HC Deb 02 February 1972 vol 830 c115W
44. Mr. Buchan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will ascertain which local authorities have circulated parents of pupils in primary schools asking them if they wish their child to be issued with free school milk.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

No. I understand that several education authorities have asked all parents of primary pupils over 7 whether they wish their children to be considered for the issue of free milk at school on health grounds. I do not think that such a general inquiry is necessary, but this is a matter for each education authority to decide.
