HC Deb 18 April 1917 vol 92 c1664
8. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary for Scotland the amount of the equivalent Grant to Scottish education as a consequence of the proposed Grant to English education; and how he proposes to use the same?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)

The Scottish Education Department are in communication with the Treasury on the subject, but I am not in a position to make any statement on the subject at present.

Mr. HOGGE

Can the right hon. Gentleman state, when the Education Minister for England introduces his Estimates tomorrow, that the Scottish Members will know what Scotland is going to get?

Mr. MUNRO

I very much doubt if the information will be available to-morrow; but if my hon. Friend will put down a question later, I will endeavour to answer it.

Mr. HOGGE

I will raise the matter to-morrow.

Mr. DUNDAS WHITE

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us an assurance that Scotland will be given an equivalent Grant?

Mr. MUNRO

I have no reason to doubt that.
