HC Deb 08 May 1899 vol 71 c33
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, if he can state the number of classes which have been held for the practical teaching of cooking, under Article 22 of the Scotch Code, in each of the six Highland crofting counties during the year 1898; and, will he state the entire amount earned by teachers in respect of cookery in each of the aforesaid counties during the year?

* MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

It is impossible to give the details required in reply to a question. If the honourable Member applies to the Scotch Education Department he will be supplied with a statement of the facts.

MR. WEIR

Will the right honourable Gentleman take care that the information is supplied?

* MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

I try to furnish everything the honourable Member asks for.

MR. WEIR

But I mean before the Vote is taken.

* MR. DUNCOMBE (Cumberland, Egremont)

Will the right honourable Gentleman answer the honourable Member in Gaelic in future?
