HC Deb 05 June 1918 vol 106 c1585
63. Mr. R. MACDONALD

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he has had any representations from Leicester showing him that the distribution of the Grant he has given for teachers' salaries is made on a pro rata basis, and thus widens the actual discrepancy between the salaries paid to men and women; whether he has made any representation to local education authorities on this subject; and whether these representations are accompanied by suggestions for a more equitable distribution?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Lewis)

My right hon. Friend has received no representations from Leicester, nor has he made any to local education authorities upon this subject.
