answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>We know milk is excellent for children’s growth and development. As part of the School Food Standards, where they apply, lower fat milk or lactose reduced milk must be available to children who want it for drinking at least once a day during school hours. It is a legislative requirement that milk is provided free of charge to pupils who meet the free school milk criteria, and schools may charge all other pupils.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has no plans to extend eligibility for free school milk to all children in reception classes or assess the demand from parents. We already assist with the cost of providing milk; schools can take part in the EU School Milk Subsidy Scheme and, as mentioned above, free school milk is provided free of charge to disadvantaged pupils.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 05/09/2017 11:14:59 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
