HC Deb 19 July 1894 vol 27 c366
MR. BIRKMYRE (, &c.) Ayr

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the Education Department is aware that the grant for secondary education is being distributed in Ayrshire in grants to ex-VI. scholars in elementary schools in the county, as well as the secondary schools in the county; and whether this application of the money has been sanctioned by the Department?

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

The scheme for the distribution of the secondary education grant in Ayrshire provides for a certain amount being assigned to scholars in state-aided schools, who have passed out of the standards and are receiving some higher education. Such an application is justified by the purposes of the grant.
