§ Mr. Malcolm MacPhersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland on what date the inquiry was held into the educational endowments of Stirlingshire; when the Report of the Commissioner may be expected; and what is the reason for the delay between the holding of the inquiry and the rendering of the Report.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe inquiries into the educational endowments of Stirlingshire were held on 14th December, 1953. The Commissioner has submitted his Report to me and it has been considered, but the preparation of draft schemes relating to the future government and management 69W of the endowments has taken longer than was expected. I hope, however, that it will be possible to publish new schemes in the near future.
