HC Deb 22 February 1905 vol 141 c900
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate, having regard to the fact that the Committee on Physical Deterioration, in their Report issued last year, express the opinion that instruction in cookery, hygiene, and domestic economy should, as far as possible, be made compulsory on the elder girls at school, will the Secretary for Scotland consider the expediency of giving effect to this recommendation by the issue of an amendment to the present Education Code.

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

I am in reply to refer the hon. Member to the Answers given to his Questions of 16th March, 1904, † and 25th April, 1904, † addressed to the Secretary for Scotland. I have nothing to add to these replies.
