Blair and Kelly snatching school milk
 

SIR-

I am appalled that the Government has commissioned a report that advises scrapping of subsidies for milk in schools.

One of the greatest things I remember as a child was going to school and getting my morning drink of fresh milk in a bottle. 

A healthy school diet plays a vital role in giving children good habits for life.

Mrs Thatcher 'the milk snatcher' was the last Education Secretary to attack this scheme and it seems Blair and Kelly seem intent on stealing every Conservative policy they can think of.

We should be encouraging kids to drink milk rather than fizzy drinks.

ENDS
