§ Major NALLasked the President of the Board of Education whether he will approve the adoption of Scale 4 of the Burnham Report for local education authorities outside the Metropolitan Area, or whether he will approve Scale 3 for the large provincial cities, subject to no teacher's salary being reduced thereby?
§ Mr. FISHERThe Burnham Committee has not completed its work, and I do not think it desirable that I should make any pronouncement as to the allocation of particular standard scales to 979W particular areas of types of area until I am in a position to review the recommendations of the Committee as a whole.
§ Major NALLasked the President of the Board of Education whether he agrees to the fixing of teachers' salaries for a period of five, years at rates recommended by the Burnham Committee at a time when the cost of living was at its highest point?
§ Mr. FISHERMy attitude to the Report has been indicated in my correspondence with Lord Burnham which has been published, and of which I am sending the hon. and gallant Member copies.
