HC Deb 21 April 1890 vol 343 cc955-6
DR. MACDONALD (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether complaints have reached him that under pressure from Mr. Robertson, Inspector of Schools in Lewis, the teacher of Lionel School, about a month ago, felt compelled to show Mr. Robertson all the telegrams, private or otherwise, which he had received since the 1st of January; and whether Mr. Robertson requires the services of an assistant to enable him to superintend the comparatively small number of schools in the island?

*THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J.P. B. ROBERTSON,) Bute

I have not been able to obtain the necessary information to enable me to reply to this question. I must, therefore, ask the hon. Gentleman to repeat the question on a later day.
