HC Deb 07 March 1906 vol 153 c451
MR. COCHRANE (Ayrshire, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the sum of £210,000, which in September last the Scottish Education Department intimated to the governing bodies of technical institution in Scotland had been carried to a suspense account, so as to be available for capital expenditure in connection with educational work, is still available for that purpose; has the Treasury appropriated any unexpended balance of any sum allocated to Scottish education; and, if so, what steps, if any, does the Secretary for Scotland intend to take to recover for educational purposes in Scotland the sums so appropriated.

* MR. SINCLAIR

The Treasury has consented to a revote of the sum of £100,000 in the next financial year, the balance of the whole sum being placed on the Estimates in the next few years as may be required.
