HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 cc151-2W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that dissatisfaction is felt by teachers in State schools performing school duties out of school hours, who find that no additional allowances in respect of such work are to be made in the new Burnham recommendations; and whether he will make representations to the local education authorities that in the application of the proposed Burnham awards, high priority in the allocation of special responsibility allowances shall be conceded to such teachers, from whom additional services and extra responsibility are demanded.

Mr. Tomlinson

No. The duty of deciding on posts of special responsibility rests primarily with the local education authorities on such grounds as special qualifications or work of advanced character.
