§ 14. Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for Scotland his plans to deal with the conflicting demands of the teachers, male and female, in respect of equal pay in the profession.
§ Mr. Henderson StewartI have no evidence that there is any conflict between women teachers and the great majority of men teachers on the subject of equal pay in the teaching profession, but I hope to be able to refer to this matter in the course of the debate today.
§ Sir T. MooreWhile thanking my hon. Friend for his conciliatory reply, may I ask whether he will appreciate that it is rather disturbing for Scottish Members to receive constant demands from the female teachers for equality and constant demands from the male teachers for inequality? In his speech later today, will he refer to how we are to answer these somewhat conflicting groups?
§ Mr. StewartI shall try to do my best.
