HC Deb 30 March 1976 vol 908 c432W
32. Mr. Gow

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is his estimate of the actual cost of providing a school meal in primary and secondary schools on the date when the charge is to be increased from 15p to 20p per meal.

Miss Margaret Jackson

The average cost was 41½p in November 1975. I cannot say what the cost will be in September next.
