§ MR. M'LARENasked the Vice President of the Privy Council, with reference to the Education Estimates for Ireland 312 and Scotland for the present year, now upon the Table of the House for consideration in the Committee of Supply, Whether, seeing that the original Estimates for Ireland amounting to £430,390, have been increased (by a Supplementary Estimate of £85,691,) to £516,081; the original Estimates for Scotland, amounting to £114,520, are, in like mannner, to be increased by a Supplementary Estimate; and, if so, when it will be laid upon the Table of the House?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERsaid, his hon. Friend was somewhat mistaken in regard to the position of the Education Vote. The Estimates for Scotland were no longer under consideration, as they were voted a week or two ago, and it was not the intention of the Government to bring up a Supplementary Estimate for Scotland. They had asked the House for all the money that was necessary for Scotland, the House had granted that amount, and the Government would not be justified in asking for more than was necessary.
