HC Deb 15 May 1928 vol 217 cc840-1
19. Mr. STEPHEN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the Reports of the Scottish Board of Health, Agriculture, and Education will be available for Members of this House?

Sir J. GILMOUR

As regards the first two Reports I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for Kirkcaldy (Mr. T. Kennedy). The Annual Report of the Scottish Education Department for 1927 is now in the printers' hands and it is hoped that it will be published before the end of next week.

Mr. STEPHEN

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us an assurance that, if be is still Secretary of State for Scotland next year, which God forbid, he will have the Reports ready earlier?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Every effort is made to produce the Reports as early as possible.
