Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to encourage schools to participate in the school milk subsidy scheme.

The long-standing School Milk Subsidy Scheme was accessed by over 11,000 schools in England in the last school year. Any school wishing to participate can access information about the Scheme here. The scheme is voluntary and it is a matter for individual schools as to whether they wish to participate in it.
