Nursery Milk Scheme

Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 November 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Nursery Milk Scheme.

Is the hon. Lady aware that many children are lactose intolerant and that there have been links between the consumption of dairy products, particularly milk, and the development of childhood asthma—there is no firmly proven link, but it has been suggested that there is a connection? Are there alternative sources of calcium, such as soya milk, available to children who perhaps should not be drinking dairy milk?
