39. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked whether the Government scheme of educational reform, announced by the Lord Chancellor, includes any provisions affecting Scotland?
§ 41. Mr. FREDERICK WHYTEasked also the Secretary for Scotland, in view of the Lord Chancellor's Manchester speech, if he will say what steps he proposes to take to ensure that when an advance is made in English educational reform an equal if not greater advance shall be made in Scottish education so that the unquestioned pre-eminence of Scotland may be maintained?
Mr. McKINNON WOODIn reply to this question and to question No. 41, I would refer my hon. Friends to the answer given by the Prime Minister on 15th January to a series of questions on the subject of the Lord Chancellor's speech.
§ Mr. LYNCHWhen this scheme is being prepared will the whole position be recast so that the education provided may be more relative to the needs of the time?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is a matter of opinion.
