Mr. John Smithasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the date of approval of the latest scheme or modification of a scheme submitted by Glasgow Corporation under Section 7 of the Education (Scotland) Act, 1962, and approved by the Secretary of State which contained provision for the charging of fees at local authority schools under their management.
§ 50 and 51. Mr. Buchanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if the latest scheme or modification of a scheme submitted by Glasgow Corporation under Section 7 of the Education (Scotland) Act, 1962, and approved by the Secretary of State contains any provision for the charg- 290W ing of fees in any schools under their management and whether he will name these schools;
(2) what was the date of approval of the last scheme, or modification of a scheme, submitted by Glasgow Corporation under Section 7 of the Education (Scotland) Act, 1962 and approved by the Secretary of State which contained no provision for the charging of fees for school education at schools under their management.

The authority wrote to the Secretary of State on 26th March, 1970, recording its resolution that the scheme of educational provision should be modified to delete the references to fee saying at certain of its schools: in addition, the Fourth Schedule to the Education (Scotland) Act, 1969, prescribed that any provision of a scheme dealing with the charging of fees for school education should cease to have effect from 1st August, 1970. The scheme of educational provision in operation from that date does not, therefore, contain any provision for the charging of fees at schools under the management of the education authority.
