HC Deb 05 March 1931 vol 249 c578
46. Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to proceed with the Education (Scotland) Bill?

The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Mr. William Adamson)

I have been asked to reply. In view of the Government's intention with regard to the Education (School Attendance) Bill, which has been announced to-day, it is not proposed to proceed further with the Scottish Bill this Session. The Bill will, however, be reintroduced next Session.

Mr. WILLIAMS

May I inquire why Scotland is being so disgracefully neglected?

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Why is the hon. Member for Torquay (Mr. C. Williams) interested in Scotland? We will look after Scotland ourselves.
