HC Deb 01 August 1961 vol 645 c163W
Mrs. Slater

asked the Minister of Education what consideration was given to future recruitment of teachers for primary and secondary schools, in view of the official announcement on the question of their salaries.

Sir D. Eccles

The proposals which I have made to the Burnham Committee for an increase of £42 million allow for substantial rises in the salaries of primary and secondary school teachers, and I had particularly in mind the need to attract high-quality entrants to the profession.
