§ 32. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent he will give financial assistance to Scottish county councils in order to provide for special educational cruises for schoolchildren.
§ Mr. Brooman-WhiteExpenditure by education authorities on such cruises is accepted as relevant expenditure for the assessment of general grant.
§ Mr. HughesCan the hon. Gentleman assure us, in view of the very successful 1167 results of these educational cruises and in view of the fact that some of the progressive education authorities like Ayrshire are contemplating hiring a liner for their own schoolchildren, that he will give every possible encouragement to those local authorities?
§ Mr. Brooman-WhiteWe have been doing so.
