§ 21. Mr. Peartasked the Minister of Education what guidance his Department gives to local education authorities on the question of teachers' fees from broadcasting.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThis is not a matter on which it would be appropriate for the Ministry to give guidance to local education authorities.
§ Mr. PeartIs my right hon. Friend aware that I have been informed that it has been the practice of some local authorities to claim back these fees; and is that not rather mean of the authorities in question?
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe contract of the teacher is between the local authority and the teacher himself, and this is therefore a matter for the local authority.
