MR. WEIR

To ask the Lord-Advocate, having regard to the fact that a number of children of school age, belonging to tinker families in Scotland, receive no education whatever, will he state whether † See (4) Debates, cxli., 1321. he can see his way to so amend the Education (Scotland) Bill now before Parliament as to secure to these children the benefits of education.

(Answered by Mr. Scott Dickson.) This matter is one of great difficulty, which has received and is still receiving most careful consideration.
