PROVISION OF SCHOOL MEALS AND MILK
Milk was supplied free during 1967 to all school children in the Borough. This situation will
change in September of 1968 as, from the beginning of the Autumn Term, free milk will no longer be supplied
to pupils of Secondary Schools.
A census taken on a day in September, 1967, showed that 27,644 children in maintained schools
received 1/3 of a pint. This amounted to 97.5% of infants present on that day, 90% of juniors and 48% of
seniors.
In accordance with the Milk in Schools Scheme free milk is also supplied to non-maintained schools.
During 1967 approximately 900 bottles per day were provided.
All milk is pasteurised and the sources of supply are under the constant supervision of the Medical
Officer of Health. The average number of meals per day served in term time during 1967 was 26,100 and in
the school holidays 310.
Cost of Milk and Meals.
The total cost of meals and milk for 1967/68 has been estimated at £713,205 and the income from
payments and other sources at £233,060 giving a nett cost of £480,145 chargeable on the rates.
