HC Deb 07 April 1925 vol 182 cc2008-9
38. Mr. WESTWOOD

asked the Secretary for Scotland what will be the amount of money available for distribution to Scottish education authorities out of the Scottish Education Fund for the year 1925–26; and how much of reduction or increase this will be as compared with the year 1924–25?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I anticipate that the amount available for the payment of grants to education authorities in Scotland from the Education (Scotland) Fund will be substantially the same in the year 1925–26 as in 1924–25, and will be in the neighbourhood of £6,000,000.
