asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state the estimated annual increase in the cost of school meals as a result of the Budget proposals.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cost of School Meals.
So far as can be estimated on the information available in my Department, the annual increase in the cost of school meals as a result of the Budget proposals should not exceed £11,500 spread over 64 local authorities.
Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that, to date, his is the only Department which apparently has been able to make an estimate or a forecast of the result of the Budget proposals?
