asked the Minister of Education how many school meals were served in schools administered by the Cornwall Education Committee at the latest convenient date; how many a year earlier; and how many were free in each case.

20,107 on a day in February this year, of which 1,545 were free, compared with 19,022 on a day in February last year, of which, 2,151 were free.

asked the Minister of Education what sum she expects to save in Exchequer Grants as the result of economies in the school meals service called for in Circular 250.

My aim is to secure economies in the overhead expenses which will save about £1 million in Exchequer Grants in a full year.
