§ Mr, Knoxasked the Secretary of State for Scotland, from information available from international sources, what has been the percentage increase in the number undergoing full and part-time education in Luxembourg since 1958–59; and how this compares with the percentage increase during the same period in Scotland.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellBetween 195859 and 1967-68, the latest year for which information is available, the number of354W children attending schools, excluding special schools, in Luxembourg appears to have increased by 32 per cent. compared with an increase of 6.4 per cent. in Scotland. This comparison is not wholly reliable since the statistics for the two countries are compiled on different: bases. Moreover, variations in actual numbers depend on demographic as well as educational considerations. Information about numbers in further and higher education in Luxembourg is not readily available and cannot be obtained without disproportionate expense.
