HC Deb 30 November 1908 vol 197 cc1093-4
MR. MENZIES (Lanarkshire, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland why the statement of income, expenditure, and liabilities of secondary schools for the year 1905–6, given in Table I., page 953, of the Report of the Committee on Education in Scotland for 1907–8, is only for that date; why that table and the various other particulars of secondary education in Scotland given in that Report up to page 1013, inclusive, do not include all details of these schools and their expenditure up to and including 15th May, 1908, seeing that these details were necessarily in the hands of the Department since the latter date; and whether he will endeavour to print and circulate these as a separate paper at the earliest opportunity.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR,) Forfarshire

The statement of income, expenditure, and liabilities of secondary schools for the year 1906–7 (being the latest audited accounts available), were included in a separate Paper (Cd. 4310) issued on 19th September last. The other particulars referred to by the hon. Member (the latest available) will also be found in this Paper.
