HC Deb 14 February 1951 vol 484 c392
41. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many years a non-European teacher has to work in Malaya before earning the starting salary of an English teacher in England of similar qualifications.

Mr. Dugdale

It is impossible to draw a full parallel between a non-European teacher in Malaya and an English teacher in England, but fully trained non-European teachers in schools in Malaya in which the medium of instruction is English, receive, in salary and cost-of-living allowance, rather more than the trained teacher in this country.
