HC Deb 12 November 1974 vol 881 c94W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what would be the annual cost of restoring free milk in schools.

Mr. Armstrong

It is estimated that it would cost £8 million a year to restore free milk to the junior pupils in schools in England and Wales from whom it was withdrawn in 1971 and an additional £7 million to restore it to the seniors who lost their entitlement in 1968.
