§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state what percentage of the girls in the Highland crofting counties who last year terminated their attendance at public schools had received instruction in cookery and household economy respectively.
(Answered by Mr. A. Graham Murray.) I am unable to give the information asked for by the hon. Member. All that I can say is that of the total number of girls above ten years of age in average attendance at schools in the Highland crofting counties about 25 per cent. received instruction in one or other of the subjects named in the year 1902–3.
