87. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the fact that throughout Scotland teachers have been presenting memorials to the school boards petitioning for an increase of salary or war bonus in view of the present cost of living; and if he can state whether any of the boards have taken any action with regard thereto or have consulted the Department?
§ Mr. TENNANTI am aware that throughout Scotland teachers have been presenting memorials to school boards in the sense stated in the question. I have received a representation from certain school boards in Lanarkshire in favour of a contribution being made by the Scottish Education Department towards the expense of any bonus which may be granted. This matter is at present under consideration.
