§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will, as a means of resolving the teachers' dispute, increase the salaries by an amount sufficient to give an increase of 35 per cent. since November, 1967.
§ Mr. Edward ShortTeachers' salaries are negotiated in the Burnham Committee, where it is for the management panel as a whole, on which, with the local authorities, I am represented, to decide the terms of any offer. I have neither the power nor the wish to determine them myself.
