§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that in the majority of cases the ex-Service emergency teacher, after one year's training and without being submitted to any examinations receives, on taking up teaching, a salary which, augmented with allowances, is £30 a year in excess of the salary, also augmented by allowances, received by a graduate teacher with four years' training; and if he will, when the Burnham Scales come to be reviewed, redress this anomaly.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe salary scale for a male qualified teacher trained under the 273W Emergency Training Scheme is £300-£15-£525 and for a four years trained graduate£385-£15-£585. Under the provisions of the Burnham Report new entrants may receive additions to these scales in respect of war service and other approved previous experience. Other things being equal the salary for the graduate is greater than that for the emergency trained teacher but it not infrequently happens that the latter enters his scale at a higher point by virtue of greater length of war service and non—teaching experience.
