This doesn't appear to be made up or clear nonsense. I've therefore replaced the {{nonsense}} with {{prod}} and added a few cleanup tags.--VectorPotential Talk 00:15, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genuine Act?[edit]

Is this, by itself, a proper Act of Parliament? What was its chapter? Or was it simply part of another a act? Gabbe (talk) 14:29, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Free milk was a consequence of the Education Act 1944 according to this source: Parkin JM (1982). "Free milk for children". Arch. Dis. Child. 57 (2): 89–91. PMC 1627518. PMID 7065719. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help) I'll go ahead and merge this page into that one. Gabbe (talk) 18:07, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blatant hoax[edit]

No such Act ever existed. Free school milk was introduced by the Provision of Free Milk Regulations 1946, made under Section 49 of the 1944 act. See Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#Purported School Milk Act 1946. Unfortunately Wikipedia's error has been reproduced elsewhere. DuncanHill (talk) 15:53, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
