HC Deb 27 February 1936 vol 309 cc676-7W
Mr. MACLAY

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he can state the composition of the authority responsible to him for the general outline and supervision of the curriculum in State-controlled schools throughout Scotland?

Sir G. COLLINS

I am advised in these matters by the officers of the Scottish Education Department and their inspectors. The Department's Statutory Advisory Council considers and reports on questions of the curriculum. I will send the hon. Member the names of the Council. The Department also keeps in close touch with the Educational Institute of Scotland and with the Scottish Universities Entrance Board.
