§ Sir WALTER MENZIESasked whether the Scottish Education Department have received or demanded an equivalent grant for Scotland for the £100,000 supplementary sum granted on the 10th instant towards expenditure on public elementary schools in England and Wales?
§ Mr. UREThe sum in question is not a new grant but a revised estimate of the expenditure to be incurred under one of the existing sub-heads of grant. The question of an equivalent, therefore, even if the principle of equivalents is admitted, does not arise.
