§ Mr. GINNELLasked the President of the Board of Education whether increase of salary accompanies promotion of a teacher from one grade to another to which a higher salary is attached; and, if there are any instances of the Treasury refusing to provide the increased salary for teachers officially notified of their promotion, will he say under what statutory authority this is done?
§ Mr. J. A. PEASEThere are no grades among teachers in public elementary schools in England and Wales corresponding to those which, I understand, exist in Ireland. Perhaps I may be allowed to refer the hon. Member to the Code of Regulations for public elementary schools in England and Wales for a statement of the different classes of teachers recognised by the Board of Education. Teachers are paid by the local education authorities, and Treasury sanction is not required to increases in the salaries paid to them.
