When Did Thatcher Stop Milk For Schools?
In October 1970, Margaret Thatcher created great controversy by bringing an end to free school milk for children over seven and increasing school meal charges. She argued that by ending free milk for all but nursery and primary children, they would have more money to spend on other areas of education, like new buildings.
