HC Deb 16 March 1925 vol 181 c1867W
Mr. S. MITCHELL

asked the Secretary for Scotland what arrangements exist for the education of slightly mentally-defective children in the towns and also in the rural districts of Scotland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The provision of schools and classes for mentally-defective children in the towns and rural districts of Scotland, as at 31st July, 1923, is stated in Table 4 of the latest "Return showing Grant-earning Day Schools and Institutions," a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member. Since the date of that Return the number of schools and classes has been increased, but the final figures are not yet available.
