§ Mr. A. SOMERVILLEasked the President of the Board of Education whether there is any Regulation of the Board which would prevent a teacher in a secondary school maintained or aided by a local education authority from serving in Parliament?
§ Mr. E. WOODThe Board of Education have made no Regulations on the subject, but they would, of course, be unable to recognise for grant expenditure on the salary of a teacher who was unable through other preoccupations to perform effectively the duties he was engaged to perform. Reference should also be made to Section 84 of the Local Government1200W Act, 1888, which provides that no paid clerk or other paid official in the permanent employment of a county council who is required to devote his whole time to such employment shall be eligible to serve in Parliament.
