Captain RAMSAYasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how matters stand in regard to the proposal to alter the conditions under which the orphanage at Aberlour has hitherto been administered; and whether he is aware that the changes recently proposed are viewed with disapproval in many quarters?
§ Sir G. COLLINSThe Educational Endowments Commissioners, after negotiation with the executive committee of the Representative Church Council of the Episcopal Church in Scotland and with the Committee of Management of Aberlour Orphanage, have proposed that the scheme be remitted to them by the Department in order that effect may be given to certain agreed amendments which, I am informed, will render the scheme acceptable to the afore-mentioned bodies. I am not aware of any disapproval of the action now proposed by the commissioners.
