§ Mr. GRUNDYasked the President of the Board of Education the precise terms of the agreements embodied in the Burnham scales, the period during which such agreements were to run without revision, and the extent to which they have been put into operation?
§ Mr. FISHERI am sending the hon. Member a copy of the Report of the Standing Joint Committee on the Salaries of Teachers[...] Elementary Schools, which sets out the agreed recommendations of the Committee. I cannot summarise these recommendations within the limit of an answer, but it was agreed that the scales, if adopted, should run till 1st April, 1923, in the London area, and till 1st April, 1925, in the Provinces. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on the 16th of this month to the hon. Member for the Thornbury Division of Gloucestershire (Mr. Rendall).
