§ Mr. Hudson Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many children under five years of age are receiving free welfare milk in day care facilities in Scotland.
§ Mr. John MacKayAll children under five years of age attending approved day care facilities are entitled to receive free welfare milk, but it is not possible to say what proportion of them take advantage of this daily. Examination of claims for the month of June 1982 shows that over 405,000 issues of one-third of a pint of milk were paid for by my Department in respect of such children.
