History repeated.. the good old days
Health Minister Anne Milton's leaked letter to Scottish Public Health Minister Shona Robison, dated 3 August 2010:

I am writing to you about our proposals to abolish the long-standing statutory Nursery Milk scheme, which is Great Britain-wide, by April 2011.
It does not provide value and has become increasingly outdated.
The scheme is the only remaining part of what was known as the Welfare Food Scheme, which was first introduced in 1940.
Children in very low-income families may be less likely to attend childcare, unless publicly funded places are available. If so, they will not be benefiting from the scheme anyway.BBC News - Health Minister Anne Milton's letter in full

Oh yes I moan and groan..but what more evidence does anyone need to see that this Government, using the disgiuse of needed cuts, are determined to demolish any social benifits created since the last war?..
