§ 81. Mr. HOGGEasked the Secretary for Scotland what proportion of students in the last year for which statistics arc available entered each of the Scottish universities through the preliminary examination and through the leaving certificate examination, respectively; and whether these figures will be given due weight in considering the proposed new ordinance perpetuating the preliminary examination?
§ Mr. MUNROMy right hon. Friend informs me that there is no official Return in his Department containing the statistics asked for. He has no doubt that any figures which may be submitted on the point will be duly considered.
§ Mr. PRINGLEWill the right hon. Gentleman look into the statistics which can be obtained and prevent the extension 336 of the preliminary examination, which will only be available for 10 per cent. of the entrants to the university?
