§ Mr. Willisasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what approaches he has made to Edinburgh and Glasgow education authorities about the future of their selective and fee-paying schools after 1st August, 1970.
§ Mr. RossMy Department has written to both authorities on 23rd January, 1970, telling them that I consider that with the abolition of fee-paying for school education from 1st August, 1970, the existing special arrangement for the admission of children to these schools must be discontinued. I have asked that they submit revised admission arrangements for my approval.
