§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that, under the existing Burnham agreement, the salaries of about 50 per cent. of the headmasters of grammar schools remained as they were, and that under the proposed new Burnham scale, to be in operation for three years, some headmasters of grammar schools will receive little or no increase in their salaries; and whether, in view of the increased cost of living, he will remove this injustice.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI am aware that certain head teachers of secondary schools did not receive increases of salary on the introduction of the salary scales for teachers in primary and secondary schools which came into force on 1st April, 1945, but I have no information to show the precise proportion of teachers in this position. With regard to the latter part of the question, the position remains as stated in my reply to the hon. Member on 30th October.
