HC Deb 19 February 1924 vol 169 c1555W
Mr. WESTWOOD

asked the Secretary for Scotland what action, if any, he proposes to take with a view to restoring the policy of Circular 461, issued in August, 1914, by the Scottish Education Department?

Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary for Scotland what steps, if any, he has taken to withdraw Circular 51 and to restore the position of local bodies previous to that Circular being issued with regard to feeding of school children?

Mr. STEWART

As the hon. Members are aware, there are considerable legal difficulties in connection with this matter. I am going into these very carefully with the Law Officers and I hope to be able to make a statement on the subject at an early date.
