§ Mr. SCOTTasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the sum of £7,516,051, representing salaries to 26,662 full-time teachers in day schools for the year to 15th May, 1029, includes secondary school teachers; will he supply particulars of the salaries and number of teachers in secondary schools; whether the above-mentioned sum includes part-time or visiting teachers for special subjects, such as science, mechanics, cookery, drawing and other extra subjects; and will he supply particulars of the salaries and number of these teachers?
§ Mr. JOHNSTONThe answer to the first and third parts of the question is in the affirmative, though I should mention that these figures refer only to day schools managed by education authorities. The number of teachers in grant-aided secondary schools, whether under education authorities or bodies of managers, is 6,452. The statistics available do not enable me to reply to the remaining parts of the question.
