HC Deb 24 May 1984 vol 60 c506W
Mr. Gordon Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether any advice has been given or ruling made from his Department about the eligibility of children under five years who are the sons or daughters of miners on strike, to milk and vitamin tokens; and whether he will now publicise their eligibility to free milk and vitamins.

Dr. Boyson

No such advice or ruling has been issued. The conditions of eligibility are not altered by the strike action and we are satisfied with the current arrangements to publicise the scheme.
