§ Colonel DAYasked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been drawn to the recent decision of the Pembroke Education Committee, who have decided not to accept the 1750W Burnham award unless compelled so to do; and will he state whether action is being taken with a view to this authority being compelled to pay salaries to teachers under their authority on the scale laid down by the Burnham Committee?
§ Lord E. PERCYMy attention has been drawn to the decision referred to. As regards the second part of the question, I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy of the recent official announcement in the Press indicating my attitude with regard to the adoption of the scales laid down in Lord Burnham's award.
