Mr. DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Education if he has received a memorandum from the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Teachers' Association concerning the staffing and equipment of the schools in that city; and, if so, what steps the Board of Education intends to take in the matter?
§ Mr. FISHERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The proposals of the local education authority for the staffing and equipment of the public elementary schools in their area will be considered by the Board when the scheme of the local education authority under the Education Act, 1918, is submitted by the authority.
