HC Deb 08 February 1911 vol 21 c414W
Mr. WEIR

asked the Lord Advocate whether the Secretary for Scotland is aware that children attending public schools in the island of Lewis are still required to carry peats to school as a contribution to the school fuel supply; and, seeing that the practice was prohibited under the Scottish Office circular of 17th January, 1894, will he state why the Department's orders are not enforced?

Mr. URE

I have nothing to add to my answer to the question addressed to me on this subject by my hon. Friend on the 12th July last to which I would refer him.
