HC Deb 20 April 1920 vol 128 c245W
Mr. MYERS

asked the President of the Board of Education the average percentage increase in pay in the lowest and highest grades of teachers for 1919–20 as compared win 1913–14?

Mr. FISHER

The average salaries paid to certificated and uncertificated teachers in ordinary public elementary schools in 1913–14 are set out in the White Paper [Cd. 8513] presented to Parliament in 1917, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. The Board have not yet received full particulars as to the salaries for the year 1919–20. I may, however, refer the hon. Member to the Report of the Standing Joint Committee on Elementary Teachers' Salaries [Cd. 443], which recommends minimum scales of salary. These recommendations have, I believe, been adopted by all, except three, of those authorities whose scales were not already higher.
