HC Deb 25 June 1925 vol 185 cc1749-50W
Colonel DAY

asked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been drawn to the recent decision of the Pembroke Education Committee, who have decided not to accept the Burnham award unless compelled so to do; and will he state whether action is being taken with a view to this authority being compelled to pay salaries to teachers under their authority on the scale laid down by the Burnham Committee?

Lord E. PERCY

My attention has been drawn to the decision referred to. As regards the second part of the question, I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy of the recent official announcement in the Press indicating my attitude with regard to the adoption of the scales laid down in Lord Burnham's award.
