HC Deb 10 April 1922 vol 153 cc14-5
44. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the President of the Board of Education whether the Burnham standard scale for teachers as agreed to by both panels was reduced, after agreement had been arrived at and before publication, by the action of the Treasury; if so, how much was the reduction; and was he consulted and consenting?

Mr. FISHER

There are four standard scales for teachers in public elementary schools, to whom presumably the hon. and gallant Member refers. No alteration in these scales was made by or at the instance of the Treasury.
