HC Deb 29 March 1928 vol 215 c1322
13. Mr. ELLIS DAVIES

asked the President of the Board of Education what decision he has come to with regard to the confirmation of the appointment by the managers of the Llantegla non-provided school, in the County of Denbigh, of a teacher of a higher category, notwithstanding the instructions given by the local education authority in virtue of Section 29 (2) (a) of the Education Act, 1921?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Lord Eustace Percy)

The authority were informed in November last that the Board determined, under the provisions of Section 29 (9) of the Education Act, 1921, that the consent of the authority to the appointment in question had not been validly withheld.

Mr. DAVIES

Is the Noble Lord aware that, notwithstanding instruction of the local education authority, this certificated teacher will be paid less than the Burnham scale?

Lord E. PERCY

I do not think that is the fact at all.

Mr. DAVIES

I think the Noble Lord had better inquire.
