§ Mr. McGovernasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will consult with the Glasgow Corporation Education Committee with a view to the opening of East bank Academy at Shettleston for the education of junior pupils under seven years of age; and whether he can state the number of pupils affected, and date of closing down of these classes?
§ Mr. ColvilleI am informed that, as the necessary air-raid shelters are now being constructed, the primary department of Eastbank secondary school, which was closed on the outbreak of war, will be re-opened at a very early date. The number of children under seven years of age is about 230.
