HC Deb 18 July 1935 vol 304 c1206
56. Captain ARCHIBALD RAMSAY

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects the Educational Endowment Commissioners to submit to him a revised scheme for the future management of the Hospitalfield Trust; how long is it since students were in residence at Hospitalfield; and whether, pending the approval of the Endowment Commission proposals for the government of this trust, there is any objection to the admission of students to Hospitalfield under the terms of the existing governing instrument?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Mr. Skelton)

I am given to understand that the Educational Endowments Commissioners hope to be in a position to submit their amended scheme for the future management of the Hospitalfield Trust towards the middle of next month. No students have been resident at Hospitalfield since 1928, but there would appear to be no reason why the trustees should not meanwhile admit students under the provisions of the existing governing instrument.
