§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that the sum of £95,000 appears in this year's Estimates for continuation classes in the Vote for public education in Scotland, will he say how much of this sum will be expended in the Highland crofting counties.
(Answer.) It is impossible to say what amount, out of the total assigned to continuation classes in the Estimates for the current financial year, will be expended on schools in any specified counties until the claims have been received, and the grants calculated thereon. The claims are to be made up for the year ending 31st July, 1902.—(Scottish Office.)
