HC Deb 23 February 1920 vol 125 c1327W
Mr. CHADWICK

asked the President of the Board of Education if the House will have the opportunity of discussing the findings of the Burnham Committee; and whether he will, in the case of the teachers, submit to the vote of the House the principle of equal pay for men and women teachers of the same professional status?

Mr. FISHER

I imagine that a discussion of the effect of the adoption of the scales of salaries recommended by the Burnham Committee, and of the relation of the pay of men and women teachers, would be relevant to the Board's Estimates, and there are other ways in which the latter issue can be raised. I am not prepared to take the course suggested.
