§ Sir K. WOODasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in connection with the request of the London Schoolmasters' Association for representation on the teachers' panel of the standing joint committee on the salaries of teachers in elementary schools, he will give consideration to the fact that their membership exceeds 7,500 men, and that such members are not also members of the National Union of Teachers, whose policy is in many respects opposed to that of the London Schoolmasters' Association; and whether he will, in constituting the panel, reconsider his decision and follow the precedent of the teachers' panel of the Burnham Committee in 1919, when eight associations, in addition to the National Union of Teachers, were given representation, in addition to the National Union of Teachers?
