HC Deb 24 April 1896 vol 39 c1640
MR. HOZIER

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, whether the Treasury have made arrangements for handing over to the Scottish Education Department the arrears due to Scotland in respect of unpaid fee grant?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

The Treasury have consented to admit the claim of Scotland to a proportion of the Supplementary Fee Grant for England in respect of the financial year 1895–6, and to ask Parliament to make provision accordingly, but they decline to re-open the accounts for earlier years.

MR. HOZIER

Are we to lose all the money due to Scotland during the time the late Government was in power?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

I must refer my hon. Friend to the Treasury.

MR. HOZIER

I beg to ask the Secretary of the Treasury?
