§ 75. Mr. M. MacPhersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what alteration he proposes in his plans for technical education, in view of the Government's recently-announced policy on the subject of higher technological education.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe system of central institutions which exists in Scotland is well-fitted to promote the development of higher technological education without any general alteration. Considerable provision for higher technological education is already made in these institutions, and I shall continue to encourage the expansion of their facilities in whatever direction seems desirable. The arrangements for grant-aiding the central institutions are sufficiently flexible to enable me to give the extra financial assistance which may be needed.
