§ *MR. MORTON (Sutherland)I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education in Scotland are responsible for their proceedings to this House; and when and where their proceedings are conducted.
SIR H. CAMPBELL BANNERMANThe Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education in Scotland are represented by the Secretary for Scotland who is Vice-President of that Committee and responsible to this House for Scottish Education. It would be contrary to precedent and practice to give particulars as to meetings of any Committee of the Privy Council.
§ MR. SMEATONCan the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that the names of the Members present at the preparation of the minutes shall be attached to them.
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANWe follow ancient practice in this matter.
§ *MR. MORTONHas this Privy Council ever held a meeting?
§ SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI have been, in more Governments than one, a Member of this Committee, but my memory does not carry me back so far as a meeting.
§ *Mr. MORTONI will put another Question on the matter.
