§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Education if he will inquire into the case, details of which have been submitted to him, of an emergency trained teacher who started teaching at a secondary modern school on 25th October, 1946, and who has not yet received increments to his basic salary warranted by his experience; and whether he will expedite the satisfaction of these claims.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe local education authority inquired whether, in the case of the teacher referred to, his employment in industry during the war may be treated for the purposes of the Teachers' Super-annuation (War Service) Act, 1939, as war service, and so entitle him to be paid increments of salary in respect of it. The authority were informed in October last that, subject to verification of certain details covering one period, the employment should be so accepted. I understand that the authority have taken steps to re-assess the teacher's salary accordingly.
