§ 43. Mr. HARDIEasked the Under-Secretary to the Scottish Board of Health whether he is aware that the nearest school to the district of Riddrie is Haghill,1.milles distant from the furthest point of the new houses: that nearly 500 children arc at present attending various schools; that application by the parents to the local authority has been turned down; and will he take steps to have a school built immediately to meet the needs of a growing district?
§ Captain ELLIOTThe Department understand that the question of accommodation in this district is receiving careful attention from the Glasgow Education Authority.
§ Mr. HARDIEIs it not a fact that it is not the local authority which inspects the schools but that the Department here sends out the inspectors?
§ Captain ELLIOTThere is another question on the Paper relating to this point.
