HC Deb 18 March 1878 vol 238 c1489
MR. DALRYMPLE

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether Her Majesty's Government intend to continue the Board of Education in Scotland beyond the 6th August next, when the Board of Education (Scotland) Continuance Act will expire, and when the provisions of "The Education (Scotland) Act, 1872," in regard to the supervision of National Education in Scotland, unless they are further interrupted, will take their course?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, it is not the intention of Her Majesty's Government to propose a renewal of the Continuance Act; but they intend to propose some measure with regard to the supervision of elementary education in Scotland.
