HC Deb 26 July 1989 vol 157 c751W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much surplus European Community butter and meat was allocated to Dundee high school in the last year, and during each year since 1979.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 24 July 1989]: No surplus European Community food has been allocated to Dundee high school under the surplus food scheme, whereby butter and beef are made available for distribution free to people in receipt of income support or family credit, or of no fixed abode or living in welfare hostels.

However, Dundee high school is registered under the surplus butter to non-profitmaking organisations scheme and since February 1989 has been entitled to receive a maximum of 1,316 kg of reduced price butter per month.
