§ Mr. MorleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he will make it his policy to provide immediate repayment of moneys spent on the provision of milk for the under-fives for individual schools and nursery units that qualify for free milk under the Welfare Food Regulations 1988; and if this provision is made for private nurseries.
§ Mr. Dorrell[holding answer 19 October 1990]: The Welfare Food Regulations 1988 allow for the provision of free milk for the under-fives in registered day nurseries, local education authority day nurseries and schools, or those in the care of registered child minders. Repayment for the milk provided is made as soon as practicable following the receipt of an application under the regulations.
The provision covers all registered private nurseries.
