HC Deb 14 July 1931 vol 255 c225
29. Mr. MILLS

asked the President of the Board of Education if he has considered the representations sent to him by the National Association of Schoolmasters as to its right to proportionate representation on the Burnham Committee which is to consider the salary scales of all classes of teachers; and whether he is prepared to grant the association any representation?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Morgan Jones)

My right hon. Friend would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which he gave, on the 29th June last, to the right hon. Member for West Woolwich (Sir K. Wood), of which I am sending him a copy.

Captain WALLACE

Does the hon. Member realise that this association does not belong to the National Union of Teachers?

Mr. HANNON

Is the National Union of Teachers the only organisation of teachers to be listened to by the right hon. Gentleman's Department? Why do not other organisations get a fair opportunity?

Mr. JONES

My right hon. Friend has given an answer on that specific point.
