HC Deb 04 February 1908 vol 183 c718
SIR FRANCIS CHANNING (Northamptonshire, E.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether he has now considered the position of assistant masters in secondary schools, as declared in the judgment on the Richmond school case; and whether he will secure by legislation that such teachers should have reasonable notice in case of dismissal and an appeal to some public authority, before whom the dismissed teacher should have the right of urging his case in person, or by his representative.

THE PRESIDENT OP THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. MCKENNA,) Monmouthshire, N.

This matter is engaging the earnest consideration of the Board, and the question of legislation is before them, but I am not in a position at present to make any statement on the subject.
