HC Deb 03 February 1902 vol 102 c186
DR. MACNAMARA

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, if his attention has been called to the fact that the Board of Education Act, 1899, under which an Order in Council establishing a register of teachers has been issued, applies only to England and Wales; and, if so, what steps, if any, it is proposed to take to enable teachers at work in Scotland to be admitted to registration.

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. Graham) Murray, Buteshire

The Board of Education Act, 1899, does not apply to Scotland, and this being so, the Scotch Education Department does not propose to issue an Order in Council, establishing a register of teachers as provided by that Act. What steps may be required in connexion with any such register will be considered when occasion arises.
