§ Mr. MATTHEWSasked the President of the Board of Education whether it is intended to continue the sittings of the Burnham Committee; if so, what are to be its functions; and if the publication of a minimum scale of salaries for teachers is to be followed by other scales suitable for the great urban and Metropolitan areas?
§ Mr. FISHERThe Joint Committee of representatives of the Association of Local Education Authorities and of the National Union of Teachers was constituted by them as a Standing Committee. Its functions were originally stated in Resolutions adopted on the 12th August, which are printed at the end of the Committee's Report [Cd. 443], and are amplified by paragraph 16 of the Report itself. I cannot anticipate the nature of any further agreement winch the Committee may reach.
