HC Deb 23 November 1931 vol 260 c53W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the President of the Board of Education if he will issue a list showing the local authorities which have up to date declined to put into operation the 10 per cent. reduction in teachers' salaries, and the number of teachers involved?

Sir D. MACLEAN

I have not been informed by any local education authority that they do not intend to put into operation the 10 per cent. reduction in teachers' salaries; but I understand that one authority, that for Heston and Isle-worth, do not propose to put the reduction into immediate operation. The number of teachers in this area is about 210. The Board's grant in respect of salary expenditure will, of course, be reduced in this case by 10 per cent. as in the case of authorities generally.
