Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the extent to which Scottish industry is dependent upon engineers and other workmen with a high degree of technical skill, and in view of the numbers of highly-skilled workmen and of apprentices who 530W had nearly completed their terms who have perished in the War, any steps are being taken by the Board of Education to increase the facilities for technical and scientific instruction so as to enable the loss of skilled workmen to be made good with the greatest possible speed?
§ Mr. TENNANTI can assure my hon. Friend that the facilities for scientific and technical instruction in Scotland are greatly in excess of the numbers of suitable people who can possibly avail themselves of them at the present time.
