DAN Rogerson, MP for North Cornwall, acted as milk monitor for the day in Whitstone Community Primary School in celebration of World School Milk Day.

To mark the event, Whitstone School encouraged children to drink milk and understand the nutritional benefits milk provides, alongside hundreds of schools and nurseries across the UK throughout September and October 2013.

Mr Rogerson commented: "Milk makes a hugely important contribution to the dietary needs of children and I was pleased to see the young people at Whitstone Community Primary School enjoying their milk."
