Celebrating the Importance of the School Milk Scheme in Scotland on World School Milk Day

Lodged by Foysol Choudhury Standard Motion 13 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament celebrates what it sees as the importance of World School Milk Day, and agrees with the view that school milk is vital in Scotland; believes that it plays an important role in children’s growth and development, and that the School Milk Scheme is a key tool for combating child poverty and food insecurity in Scotland; notes the view that the Scottish Government must launch the domestic replacement to the School Milk Subsidy Scheme as a priority, and work to deliver this scheme earlier than its deadline of the end of the current parliamentary session, and acknowledges the work that the School and Nursery Milk Alliance does in promoting both the nutritional benefits of milk and helping to raise awareness of existing milk schemes in Scotland, so that more children in Scotland have access to nutritious milk.
