HC Deb 05 March 1929 vol 226 cc183-4
19. Mr. WESTWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the amount spent by the Roxburghshire education authority under their bursary scheme in the last financial year; what sum of the amount so spent was for the provision of free books to the bursars; and what is the estimate for the present financial year?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The expenditure of the Roxburgh education authority under their bursary scheme in the last financial year was £2,783, including £224 in respect of free books to bursars. The corresponding estimates for the present year are, £2,760 and £194, respectively.

Mr. WESTWOOD

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Tory majority on the Roxburghshire education authority refused to give to a member of the authority the information which has now been given to a Member of this House?
