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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department plans to participate in the European School Milk Scheme in future years.

The UK has a long track-record of participation in the EU School Milk Scheme. However, plans to reform and improve it have been put on hold whilst the EU Commission carries out an evaluation. At this stage, future arrangements including any details of Member State allocations have yet to be decided.
