§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that 202W all the representatives upon the Burnham Committee of the Secondary School Teachers' Associations, whose membership includes 80 per cent. of the whole body of secondary school teachers, have recorded their dissatisfaction with the scales proposed by the Burnham Committee for remuneration of secondary school teachers as a teaching career has for many years attracted a progressively diminishing number of candidates; and whether he will review these proposals with special reference to the desirability of attracting university graduates to the teaching profession.
§ Mr. ButlerI have seen the communications from the Joint Four Secondary Associations published in the Press recording their dissatisfaction with the scales proposed by the Burnham Committee. As I have already informed the hon. Member, these proposals have not yet been submitted to me by the Committee.
