HC Deb 14 April 1896 vol 39 c885
MR. J. W. CROMBIE (Kincardineshire)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Government intend to introduce a Bill dealing with secondary education in Scotland at an early date; and, if not, whether they will appoint a Royal Commission to inquire into the subject, as was done in the case of England?

*THE LORD ADVOCATE (Sir CHARLES PEARSON,) Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities

The Government do not intend at present to introduce a Bill dealing with secondary education in Scotland, nor do they think that any good purpose would be served by the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire into the subject.
