HC Deb 01 April 1947 vol 435 c292W
107. Mr. Duthie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why he has refused to implement the unanimous recommendations of his own advisory body, the National Joint Council, in regard to continuation class salary scales in Scotland.

Mr. Westwood

I am satisfied that the adoption of these salary scales would have increased the difficulty of obtaining suitably qualified persons from industry to teach in continuation classes and would have hindered the development of technical education.
