HC Deb 16 July 1920 vol 131 c2774W
Mr. MILLS

asked the President of the Board of Education if he will cause investigation to be made into the great disparity between the remuneration of elementary school teachers under the London County Council and those under the Dartford area, with a view to a more equitable adjustment of existing salaries?

Mr. FISHER

The Standing Joint Committee on the salaries of teachers in elementary schools is still engaged in the consideration of the salary problem, one aspect of which is the disparity in the remuneration of teachers in different areas, and I hope they will be successful in devising suitable machinery for adjusting any difference s which may arise between local education authorities and. their teachers on the subject.
