§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that it often happens, more especially in the public schools in the Island of Lewis, that for lack of cloak pegs the children's cloaks are piled in a heap, with the result that the cloaks are frequently quite damp when required by the children on leaving school; and will he consider the expediency of giving instructions for all public schools to be provided with cloak pegs.
§ MR. SINCLAIRProper cloak-room accommodation is a general requirement for schools receiving grants under the Code. I am not aware that the supply of cloak pegs is often defective, but if the hon. Member will name specific instances in which this is supposed to be the case, inquiry will be made with a view to improvement being effected.
