MR. MENZIES (Perthshire, E.)

asked the Vice President of the Scotch Education Department, Whether he is willing to postpone the operation of the Scotch Code for 1886, to a later date than the 31st of December 1886, so as to allow sufficient time for preparation in the case of schools where a new school year has lately begun?

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. TREVELYAN) (, &c.) Hawick

In consequence of the representations made upon the subject, a Minute will be laid before Parliament postponing the operation of the Code for 1886 to the 31st of March, 1887.
