HC Deb 13 February 1919 vol 112 cc323-4W
Mr. H. HOPE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the general recommendation of school board and education authorities in West Stirlingshire that the proposed electoral divisions as announced are unsuitable to the interests and needs of the country, he will either withhold his consent to them or take steps to have an inquiry held in order that representatives of education authorities may state their views and objections?

Mr. MUNRO

On consideration of the representation which I have received from school boards in West Stirlingshire, I am satisfied that there is good reason for increasing the number of members for that electoral division to four as desired by the school boards. Effect will be given to this change in the final Order.
