§ LORD R. CECIL (Marylebone, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that all the teachers in the Swansea Church schools, including head, certificated, and uncertificated, are at present in receipt of salaries less than the corresponding salaries of teachers in the council schools, and less than they would have received under the arrangements originally made with them by the managers; and whether he can inform the House when he will receive the opinion of the law officers for which he is waiting.
§ MR. LOUGHAs I have already stated, I cannot at present enter into the matter of alleged differentiation between salaries of teachers in council schools and salaries of teachers in voluntary schools in Swansea, nor am I yet in a position to say by what date I shall be in possession of what it is necessary for me to have in the way of legal advice before I can enter into that question.
§ LORD R. CECILWhen were the law officers asked to give their opinion?
