§ Mr. HERRIOTTSasked the President of the Board of Education if he is aware of the hardship inflicted upon non-graduate teachers in secondary schools in consequence of the Regulation which deprives such teachers of the graduate scale of salaries unless engaged prior to June, 1912, although they had qualifications which satisfied local education authorities and the Board of Education that they were capable of teaching in secondary schools at the time of their appointment; and whether he will consider the advisability of making the Regulation apply only to future appointments or substituting a much later qualifying period?
§ Mr. E. WOODThe provision referred to is contained in the Burnham Report. I regret that I am unable to recognise for grant the payment of salaries on a more generous scale than is provided for in that Report.
