§ Lord James Douglas-Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will urge the Houghton Committee to report as quickly as possible; and if he will make an interim award to the members of the Scottish teachers' profession.
§ Mr. William RossThe Houghton Committee has already intimated that it firmly hopes to report before the end of the year and no urging on my part is necessary. So far as the latter part of the Question is concerned, I have nothing to add to what I said during the debate on the Address on 30th October.
