HC Deb 14 March 1944 vol 398 c2
2. Mr. Boothby

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he will be in a position to announce the proposals of the Government with regard to the reform of Scottish education; and whether he will do so in the form of a White Paper.

Mr. Johnston

I would refer the hon. Members to my replies to his previous Questions on these subjects of 12th and 19th October, 1943, and 30th November, 1943, to which at the moment I am unable to add.

Mr. Boothby

Cannot my right hon. Friend give any indication of how long it will take to complete his investigations?

Mr. Kenneth Lindsay

In the meantime, will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that a great deal can be done by enlightened administration as well as by legislation?

Mr. Johnston

That is quite true.
