HC Deb 31 July 1906 vol 162 cc711-2
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he is now in a position to state how many boys and girls respectively resident in the Island of Lewis have been recommended by the local authorities to the Scottish Education Department for participation in the industrial training provided for under Section 1 (d) of the Minute of March 19th last.

MR. SINCLAIR

The applications received from local authorities in the Island of Lewis for grants under Section 1 (d) of the Departmental Minute of March 19th, 1906, for the provision of such initial equipment as may be required for supplying industrial training to boys and girls resident in the Island do not specify any particular number of boys or girls who are recommended for participation in such training. I regret, therefore, that the information desired by my hon. friend is not available.
