HC Deb 27 October 1975 vol 898 c338W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what would be the annual cost of providing free school milk to all schoolchildren seven years of age to 11 years of age.

Mr. Mulley

It would cost local education authorities an additional £13.5 million a year to provide free school milk for all pupils aged seven to 11 years. This estimate assumed a 90 per cent. take-up rate among children in attendance at maintained schools and a retail price of 8½p a pint. The estimate relates to England and Wales.
