§ MR. T. R. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, whether, for the convenience of the Secondary Education Committees in Scotland, he can state approximately the amount of the Residue Grant for this year?
§ *THE LORD ADVOCATEThe precise figure will not be known before the middle or end of June, but, so far as our present information goes, the total amount of the grant will be rather less than last year.
