HC Deb 12 July 1926 vol 198 cc34-5

The Board of Education hereby make the following Regulations:

  1. 1. The existing Regulations hereby amended are the Elementary Education (Substantive Grant) Regulations, 1925.
  2. 2. After Article 7 of the existing Regulations the following Article is inserted as Article 7A, which shall take the place of the provisional Salaries of Teachers (Public Elementary Schools) Regulation, 1926:

"7A. Further condition of Grant as to Salaries.

(i)The payment of the Grant in full is conditional upon the Board being satis- fied that the salaries of teachers are such that no occasion arises for a deduction from the Grant as in this Article provided.

(ii) If any scales of salary in schools provided or maintained by an Authority are less than the scales of salary laid down in the Burnham Award of the 27th March, 1925, where such scales are applicable, and if, in the opinion of the Board, the efficiency of the provision made for elementary education for the area is thereby endangered, the Board may make such deduction from the Grant as will, in their opinion, secure that the expenditure by the Authority, falling to be met from the rates, shall not be less than such expenditure would have been if the scales of salary in question had been in accordance with the scales laid down in the Award.

(iii) For the purpose of this Article the Burnham Award includes allocations of scales of salary made by the Standing Joint Committee on or before the date of the Award."

3. Article 8 of the existing Regulation shall have effect with the substitution of "Article 7 or 7A" for "Article 7."

4. These Regulations may be cited as the Elementary Education (Substantative Grant) Amending Regulations, No. 1, 1926.
