§ 27. Mr. HORE-BELISHA(for Mr. E. BROWN) asked the President of the 406 Board of Education whether he is aware that teachers serving under the Coventry Education Authority are not receiving salary increments in accordance with paragraph 3 (a) (11) of the Third Report of the Joint Standing Committee and the Board's Regulations thereon; and whether, seeing that such teachers are entitled to either one increment at the conclusion of two years' service or seven-twelfths at the commencement of the financial year after serving one year and seven months, he will take the necessary steps to secure that the Coventry Education Authority adjust the increments in accordance with the standard scales and the Board's Regulations thereon?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Duchess of Atholl)My right hon. Friend has received no representations on this matter, and as the Burnham Report provides machinery for its interpretation he sees no present ground for intervention on his part.
