§ 23. Mr. BOLANDasked the Secretary for Scotland the total average salary, exclusive of war bonus, of all duly qualified teachers in the Glasgow Board primary schools and in the Catholic primary schools in the Glasgow School Board area respectively; and what average amount has been allotted by the Scottish Education Department from the equivalent grant to each duly qualified teacher in the Glasgow Board primary schools and in the Catholic primary schools in the Glasgow School Board area respectively?
§ The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)As regards the salaries of teachers in the Roman Catholic Schools in Glasgow I would refer my hon. Friend to my answer to his question of 9th July last. I regret that it is not possible without a disproportionate expenditure of time and labour to give the information required in the case of the primary schools under the Glasgow School Board. The grant in aid of teachers' salaries has been distributed on precisely the same basis in respect of all teachers in Glasgow in what ever school they may be serving.
