Description: | These children, aged between four and five, enjoyed their free morning milk at Courtland Primary School, Mill Hill. In 1946 the School Milk Act enabled a third of a pint of milk to be given daily to each schoolchild under 18 years old.
In 1971, as secretary of state for education, 'milk snatcher' Margaret Thatcher abolished free milk to those aged over seven years. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Henry Grant Collection/Museum of London | Subjects: | Public services Power and Politics | Temporal: | July 1959 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
