§ 82. Mr. Hoyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether in view of the action of Edinburgh Corporation, in response to his circular about economies, by which they are increasing the charge for meals in nursery schools from 4d. to 10d., he will issue a further circular specifying in detail the matters in respect of which economies axe not to be made.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe increase in the charge for meals in nursery schools in Edinburgh is in accordance with the Government's decision that the charges to nursery school pupils should be the same as those to pupils of school age. Education authorities were informed of this decision in a circular sent to them on 27th June, and I see no need to issue a further circular on the lines suggested by the hon. Member.
