Yes through tax I would imagine but as usual you got your facts wrong Joe,you blame the thatcher government for removing free school milk when it was in fact Labour
And I quote
" The biggest “milk snatchers” were Labour. In 1968 they took free school milk away from all 11 to 18 year olds. The Conservatives did not dub Harold Wilson a milk thief, but accepted this economy as part of the package to cut the excessive borrowing of that Labour government. No subsequent government, including the Labour governments of 1997 to 2010 thought free school milk worth reintroducing"
