HC Deb 23 October 1945 vol 414 c1845
2. John Graham Kerr

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what financial inducements are contemplated to encourage aspirants to the teaching profession to take a university degree.

Mr. Buchanan

The National Joint Council to deal with Salaries of Teachers in Scotland, a body representative of education authorities and of the teaching profession, have made recommendations to my right hon. Friend regarding the salaries that should be paid to graduate and to other teachers. These recommendations are embodied in a recently published draft of Regulations which the Secretary of State proposes to make, prescribing the salaries to be paid by education authorities to teachers employed by them. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the draft. Before making the Regulations, regard will be had to the representations on the subject that have been received from education authorities and other persons interested.

Mr. Stephen

Will the Minister send a copy to other Scottish Members also?

Mr. Buchanan

If any hon. Member wishes to have one, I will see that he gets it.

Mr. Stephen

Will my hon. Friend send me one?

Mr. Buchanan

Yes, Sir.
