§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that the promise of benefit from the Burnham scales to uncertificated teachers with more than 20 years service who now become classified as certificated teachers is belied as, in an example submitted to him of an uncertificated teacher with 22 years experience now earning £270 but due to retire under age-limit in seven years and whose increment of £12 for every three years of service over 20 years would in effect make a very small addition to the income she will receive before her retirement is due.
§ Mr. ButlerI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on this point to the hon. Member for Newton (Sir R. Young) on 29th March, a copy of which I am sending him.
