§ MR. MACFARLANE (Argyll)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he has now received the opinions of the County Committees on the subject of the allocation of the Secondary Education Grant; and whether, under the distribution proposed by the Minute, Glasgow would receive upwards of £11,000, and Orkney, Shetland, Sutherland, Caithness, Ross and Cromarty, Inverness, Argyll, and Bute together only £5,000?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, BridgetonI have already laid before the House the replies of the County Committees in a Return moved by the hon. Member for Partick. In the Appendix to the Circular issued on 1st May, the amount payable to each county and burgh on the basis of population is shown. From that it appears that Glasgow would receive £8,011 16s. 9d., and the counties named would receive £5,377 4s. 11d.
