§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, in view of the fact that children residing in the neighbourhood of Strathcarron railway station are unable to attend the Camat public school on account of there being no footbridge over the Achintee River, will he consider the expediency of allowing the school board to apply a portion of its share of the general aid grant to the erection of a footbridge, especially bearing in mind that it has recently been decided that it is open to any school board to apply its share of the general aid grant, or any portion of such share, to improving the health conditions of its schools.
§ MR. SINCLAIRThe provision and maintenance of roads and bridges falls within the province of the parish council or of the county council, and not of the school board. I have to refer the hon. Member to my Answer to his Question of 4th March.†
