HC Deb 06 March 1928 vol 214 cc961-2
18. Mr. WESTWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total sum spent on education in Scotland for the last available year, giving the amount paid from national revenue and local rates, respectively?

that there were 467 classes—I think that was the number—in Glasgow with more than 60 pupils?
