HC Deb 21 June 1988 vol 135 c528W
62. Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on his policy on the nutritional content of school meals.

Mr. Dunn

Under the provisions of the Education Act 1980, the nutritional content of school meals is the responsibility of individual local education authorities. Many LEAs are promoting healthy eating options, often supported by work in the classroom and through marketing campaigns. The Government support such approaches.
