asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which local education authorities have now indicated their refusal to reintroduce school milk in primary schools; and what is the extent of EEC subsidy lost in each case.

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to a Question from my hon. Friend the Member for Ormskirk (Mr. Kilroy-Silk) on 7th November. It is not possible to estimate the amount of EEC subsidy lost in each case, but the total subsidy lost as a result is estimated to be in the region of £¾ million in afull year.
