§ Mr. BOLANDasked the Lord Advocate whether he is aware that the voluntary schools of Scotland are entitled, in accordance with the undertaking given by the Secretary of Scotland during the passage of the Education (Scotland) Act into law, to receive, out of the residue, 6s. for every unit of the whole average attendance in the voluntary schools; and whether he can state when this amount will be distributed?
§ Mr. UREI would refer the hon. Member to my answer to his question on this subject. To that answer I cannot usefully add anything.
§ Mr. BOLANDIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that according to the report of the Committee of Council on Education in Scotland which has just been issued there is a balance over the estimate of last year of £2,600, and in addition a balance of £17,000 carried on to this year; and whether out of that balance he will see that the voluntary schools get justice in this matter?
