§ 24. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Minister of Education if he is aware of the concern amongst London schoolmasters at the decision to cancel the special general meeting of the Association of Education Committees arranged for the end of October, in view of their dissatisfaction over their present salary position; and what action he is proposing to take to alleviate their grievance.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe decision to cancel the meeting was a matter wholly within the discretion of the Association. The proposals of the Teachers' Panel on the Burnham Committee for an increase in salaries were considered by the Committee on 23rd November and a statement was issued, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. In view of the decision of the Committee not to submit recommendations, I am not prepared to take any further action.
