64. Mr. McNeilasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has considered the petition from parents of children previously attending St. Lawrence School, Greenock; and whether he is now in a position to make any statement thereon?
Mr. JohnstonThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, proposals recently submitted by the Renfrewshire education authority for the erection of prefabricated huts in order to restore full-time education for all the pupils of St. Lawrence boys' and girls' schools are now under discussion with the Ministry of Works. I expect that a decision will be reached at an early date.
