§ Mr. PERKINSasked the President of the Board of Education, in view of the general dissatisfaction of teachers employed by the Hants County Education Authority with the scale of salaries now being paid to them, whether he will cause inquiry to be made and, if necessary in the cause of educational efficiency, he will intervene?
§ Mr. FISHERThe payment of the substantive grant for elementary education is conditional,inter alia, upon the authority's satisfying the Board as to their provision for maintaining an adequate and suitable staff of teachers and for contributing to the establishment of the teaching service on a sound basis throughout the country. The position in Hampshire will be considered in the light of these conditions.
