Children’s Health: Access to Milk

Proceeding contribution from Mary Glindon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 March 2017. It occurred during Debate on Children’s Health: Access to Milk.

I thank the Minister for giving way, and it was very entertaining to hear about his time as a milk monitor. I just wanted to emphasise the issue of children having free milk throughout reception, rather than the current situation, where a child stops getting free milk the moment they are five, even though they will obviously be in a class with other children who are younger than they are. That is the point I want to emphasise. If free milk could be guaranteed to children while they are in a reception class, it would make life a lot easier for the teachers and it would seem fairer to the little children themselves.
