Mr. F. HALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his attention has been called to the difficulty which has arisen in connection with the scale of salaries for teachers paid by the Herefordshire education authority; and if, in view of the fact that this arises largely owing to the burdens in respect of education and other services falling upon the rates, he will state when he will introduce his promised proposals for relieving the local authorities of a share of their present burdens?

§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the latter part, I hope to be able to outline the Government proposals on this matter during the Debate on the Amendment to the Address standing in the names of my hon. Friends the Members for West Bradford and Sunderland.
