§ MR. VESEY KNOX (Londonderry)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether any provision will be made during the coming financial year for an additional grant to Scotch Voluntary Schools, having regard to the fact that Episcopalians and Roman Catholics (the latter alone numbering one-tenth of the population) have to pay rates for the support of Presbyterian schools in addition to subscriptions to their own schools?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.I do not think it will be convenient to give the details of the proposal in regard to Scotland until the time for introducing the Bill arrives.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYYes; as has already been said, the position of Scotland with relation to this subject is under the consideration of the Government.
