HC Deb 14 December 1998 vol 322 c389W
Mrs. May

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on his policy on the provision of free milk in schools. [63897]

Mr. Charles Clarke

If local education authorities and grant-maintained schools choose to provide milk, they must, by law, supply it free to pupils whose parents receive income support or income based job-seekers allowance, but must charge other pupils.
