§ MR. CROMBIE (Kincardineshire)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will lay upon the Table of the House the names of the examiners for the leaving certificate, with their ordinary avocations and the salary paid to each?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, BridgetonThere are no examiners for the leaving certificate in receipt of salaries. The Department is solely responsible for the awards made, and the revision of papers is carried on with the help of a large number of gentlemen, whose work is under supervision, and who are paid in proportion to the number of papers looked over by them. The names and numbers of those employed vary each year. I do not see what public object would be served by the publication of particulars, but perhaps when the Educational Estimate is discussed it may be considered whether the names of these gentlemen might be published in the annual Blue Book.
