Mr. Johnston

asked ahe Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the success achieved by the Irish Folklore Commission in collecting and preserving folklore through the agency of teachers and senior pupils, he will consult with the Educational Institute of Scotland as to the desirability of organising a similar collection in Scotland?

Yes, Sir. I should add, however, that in present circumstances I cannot make any promise of a grant from public funds towards the cost of any such collection.
