HC Deb 24 November 1970 vol 807 cc83-4W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received from teachers' organisations about the inadequacy of supply to primary and secondary schools of books, stationery, and adequate equipment; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have seen such representations from one teachers' organisation. It is for education authorities themselves to decide the level of their expenditure on these items.
