§ Mr. ADAMSONasked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been drawn to a tendency on the part of local education authorities in Scotland to ignore the proviso in Sub-section (2) of Section 3 of the Education Act; 1918, that in the case of a county a school management committee having under its management a secondary school shall not be subject to the regulations which may be 1275W imposed upon other school management committees; and whether he will take action to secure the carrying out of this proviso?
§ Mr. MUNROThe reply to the first part of the question is in the negative. I am aware, however, that the legal interpretation of the proviso referred to presents certain difficulties, and its operation is therefore being carefully watched.
