HC Deb 24 June 1958 vol 590 cc224-5
24. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what amount in grant was paid to Fettes, Loretto, Glenalmond, the Ladies' College of St. Andrew's and other schools of similar type in Scotland for 1956 and 1957, respectively; and what fees were charged for the same years in the primary and secondary departments to pupils by those private schools which are grant-aided.

Mr. Maclay

No grant is paid to these or other independent schools. Information as to the fees charged is not available in my Department.

Mr. Rankin

Can the Secretary of State give me some idea of what supervision and control the Department has over these schools?

Mr. Maclay

That is another question, which the hon. Gentleman should put upon the Order Paper.
