§ SIR H. MAXWELL (Wigton)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he can hold out hopes of the introduction of a Bill during this Session supplementing the Local Government (Scotland) Bill, whereby educational affairs in each parish under a given limit of population might be placed under control of Parish Councils?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANI doubt whether such a measure could be carried this Session. The Local Government Bill for Scotland now before the House will remove the most important difficulties that would now attend such a measure by establishing a Parish Council, or Committee of a Parish Council, in all but a very few School Board areas.
