HC Deb 18 April 1910 vol 16 c1852W
Mr. THOMAS O'DONNELL

asked the Lord Advocate what is the total amount voted for primary and the total for secondary education in Scotland for the year 1910–11?

Mr. URE

The total amount to be voted for grants in aid of primary and secondary education together for 1910–11 is £1,918,867. It is not possible to say what portion of this sum will be applied to primary and what portion to secondary education, but a very rough estimate would be:—

Primary Education £1,630,967.*
Secondary Education £287,900.
(including Continuation Classes).
* Included, however, in the former amount is a sum of £279,200 (approximately, being the portion voted General Aid Grant which is transferred to the Education (Scotland) Fund. The ultimate appropriation of this sum as between primary and secondary education cannot be estimated, even approximately.
