HC Deb 28 November 1917 vol 99 c2054W
Mr. WATT

asked the Secretary for Scotland how he proposes to deal, in the allocation of she new education Grant, with Catholic teachers in Scotland who are teaching in an eighteenpenny-rate area; are they to be put on an equality with the Board teachers; and are other unrecognised teachers to participate equally with those under the Board?

Mr. MUNRO

The cases referred to will be dealt with in accordance with the terms of the minute dated 11th July, 1917, a copy of which, together with an explanatory circular, I am sending to my hon. and learned Friend.

Mr. WATT

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the delays that occur in getting for teachers in Scotland who have received their training in England or Ireland recognition by provincial committees, in whose hands is placed this recognition; is he aware that these delays result in disadvantages to these unrecognised teachers; and will he expedite their action in this direction?

Mr. MUNRO

No complaints as to delay have reached me. But I shall be glad to look into any specific cases which my hon. and learned Friend has in view, if he will be good enough to send me particulars.
