§ 33. Mr. STEPHENasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what decision he has reached with regard to the proposal of the Kincardineshire Education Authority to reduce the age to 10 years at which school children may be employed in seasonal occupations, such as potato lifting?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI can add nothing at present to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on this subject on the 2nd March. I am awaiting a reply from the education authority to my last communication.
§ Mr. MAXTONDo I understand the right hon. Gentleman to say that the authority in Kincardineshire are not proposing to place their Regulations before him?
§ Sir J. GILMOURYes, but I understand a meeting is to take place at the end of this month, or the beginning of next, and I expect to receive an answer from them after that date.
