HC Deb 18 July 1978 vol 954 c122W
36. Mr. Watkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she is satisfied with the take-up of the free milk scheme.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Although only about a dozen authorities have so far informed my Department of their decisions the indications are that a substantial number may reject the favourable financial arrangements offered for supplying free milk to junior pupils. I find this very disappointing.
