HC Deb 09 March 1897 vol 47 c293
MR. C. B. RENSHAW (Renfrew, W.)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether any decision has yet been arrived at as to the future relations of the Science and Art Department and the Scotch Education Department; and, if so, whether he can state what the arrangement is?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. GRAHAM MURRAY, Buteshire)

A Departmental Committee has lately been considering the question of the grants from the Science and Art Department, and it was thought better to defer the question of the relations between that Department and the Scotch Education Department until the Committee had reported. I understand that it will report shortly, and the matter, which has not been lost sight of, will then receive further consideration.
