Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what he estimates would be the annual cost of continuing to provide welfare milk free to pregnant and breast-feeding women and children under five years of age from low income families, families on supplementary benefit, or family income supplement and handicapped school age children.

Mrs. Currie

We estimate that the annual cost of continuing to supply welfare milk to all the groups mentioned would be some £81 million for liquid milk and £15.5 million for dried baby milk.
