HC Deb 29 March 1895 vol 32 cc471-2
*MR. J. CAMPBELL (Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland what is the last available day for moving an Address relating to the Scotch Education Code; and whether, having regard to the importance of the, changes made in the New Code regarding training of teachers, the arrangements for Queen's students, and the great inconvenience attending such discussions after mid-night, the Government will provide for the discussion coming on at a reasonable hour?

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir GEORGE TREVELYAN, Glasgow, Bridgeton)

The period of one month during which the Code must, as prescribed by Section 67 of the Act of 1872, lie before Parliament expires on Thursday the 4th of April. Any question with regard to the business of the House had better be addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but I cannot think that it will be possible to bring on the discussion at an earlier hour than usual.
