Talk:Education (Provision of Meals) Act 1906

I have a question - the Education Act 1906 allowed local education authorities to provide free school meals, but this was made compulsory in 1914 - therefore how were less than 50% providing the service by 1939??? Is this a typo and meant to say 1909? Or is it actually the case, even though it was compulsory? Wanted to clear this up before I added anything relating to this on the page!
