HC Deb 28 April 1910 vol 17 cc647-8
Mr. WATT

asked the right hon. Gentleman if he can say what is the sum per child which the £230,000 granted in the last Vote on Account for education in Irleand represents; and what is the corresponding figure which the £200,000 granted to Scotland represents?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The sums taken in the Vote on Account have no direct reference to the number of children in Scotland and Ireland respectively, but are calculated with reference to the financial requirements of the Departments concerned in the period for which the Veto on Account is taken.

Captain BRYAN COOPER

Is it not a fact that Scotland receives more in proportion for education than Ireland?

Mr. MacVEAGH

Yes, I can answer that.
