§ MR. A. CROSS (Glasgow, Camlachie)said, he had put down the following Motion:—
That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying Her to withhold Her assent from the following part of the first of the detailed schemes appended to the Scotch Code of Regulations for Evening Continuation Schools, as in Code 1893, and renewed in Code 1894—namely, in Section III. (page 20), 'Cooperative Societies, their work in distribution and production.'He would not, however, move it at that early hour of the morning, if the Secretary for Scotland would allow the question to be raised when the English Education Code came up for consideration.
§ SIR G. TREVELYANThis question of co-operation with regard to England was raised upon the Scotch Code, and on that occasion my right hon. Friend the Vice President of the Council assisted me in a very able speech. If the ques- 909 tion with regard to Scotland is raised on the English Code I will do my best to repay my right hon. Friend for his assistance. If it should happen that the House is opposed to the reference to co-operation in the English and Scotch Code—which I hope will not be the case—I shall feel myself bound by that decision. I therefore hope that hon. Members will not allow the Scotch Code to pass.
