HC Deb 22 February 1955 vol 537 c140W
123. Sir D. Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that the system of transporting school children from the Parish of Rogart to Golspie and back each day in winter is causing illness among the children and absenteeism; and if he will consider providing suitable education in Rogart.

Mr. Henderson Stewart

This is the first session in which secondary pupils have, at the request of their parents, been transported daily to Golspie instead of lodging there as previously. In view of the exceptionally severe winter it would be premature to judge the success of the arrangement solely on this year's experience. The small number of pupils involved does not justify the provision of a secondary course at Rogart School.
