§ 32. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary for Scotland whether he has noted that St. David's day is celebrated under official sanction in elementary schools in Wales; and whether similar provision can be 1678 made for the celebration of St. Andrew's day in the school life of Scottish scholars?
The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. McKinnon Wood)The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As to the second part, I shall be prepared to consider the matter when representations to that effect are made to me on behalf of Scottish local authorities.
§ Mr. KINGDocs not the right hon. Gentleman recognise that Englishmen also have an interest in this question?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI do not think so. It has not been the habit in Scotland to recognise Saints' days.
§ Mr. PRINGLECan the right hon. Gentleman say which is St. Andrew's Day?
