HC Deb 14 September 1893 vol 17 c1146
MR. W. WHITELAW (Perth)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland on what ground the Scotch Education Department refuses to recognise the rental of the schoolmaster's house as part of the expenditure on a school required before the payment of the full grant earned?

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, Bridgeton

The question put by the hon. Member cannot be answered in general terms, as the circumstances of each case may vary. If the hon. Member will be good enough to inform me of the case in which a difficulty has arisen, I shall be glad to explain the grounds of the Department's action.
