§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Secretary for Scotland, having regard to the fact that a sum of £3,255 appears in the Public Education (Scotland) Estimates for blind and deaf children, will he state what sum is provided for defective and epileptic children.
(Answered by Mr. A. Graham Murray.) No special sum is provided for defective and epileptic children under any sub-head of the Vote; but special rates of grant for such children are provided for in Article 20 (II.) of the Code, and any sums paid under that Article are charged against Sub-head E of the Vote (annual grants for day scholars). During the inspection year ending 31st August, 1903, the sum of £409 5s. 8d. was paid under the Article named.
