HC Deb 16 March 1904 vol 131 c1257
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, in view of the fact that in the Highlands of Scotland there are no manufacturing industries for the employment of single women, and that a large proportion eventually engage in domestic service, will he consider the desirability of making such arrangements as will enable every girl to pass a course of instruction in domestic work, including plain cooking, during the last few months of her attendance at school.

*THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON,) Glasgow, Bridgton

The Code already offers ample opportunities for such instruction as the hon. Member desires, in connection with the supplementary courses. One of the courses suggested in the Sixth Schedule to the Code expressly takes that form.
