§ Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to receive a recommendation from the Scottish Joint Council on the draft Teachers' Salaries Regulations dealing with special allowance for Glasgow teachers; and what steps he is taking to ensure there is no delay in the matter.
§ Mr. NobleI received a recommendation from the Scottish Joint Council for Teachers' Salaries that I should not make the Teachers' Salaries (Special Allowances) (Scotland) Regulations which were issued in draft last September, but should appoint a committee to consider other possible measures to increase the number of teachers in areas of shortage. I have accepted this recommendation and am arranging to appoint this committee.
