National School Fruit Scheme (EDM137)

National School Fruit Scheme

EDM number 137 in 1999-00, proposed by Brian Cotter on 06/12/1999.

That this House supports the call on Her Majesty's Government from health campaign groups for fruit taken from the EU apple mountain to be distributed free of charge to schools; notes that similar schemes are successfully employed in other EU countries; recognises that such a scheme would have benefits not only for the health of schoolchildren but also for teaching conditions as a healthier diet has been seen to contribute to improved behaviour in children; and acknowledges that transport and distribution costs must be subsidised by the Government.

This motion has been signed by a total of 76 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
