HC Deb 03 February 1949 vol 460 c262W
91. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Education what is the difference between the salaries paid to elementary and grammar school teachers; and what effect has this upon the recruitment of staff in the latter schools.

Mr. Tomlinson

The basic salaries under the Burnham Report are the same for primary and secondary, including secondary grammar, school teachers. There are, however, special additions for university degrees and posts of special responsibility. I have no means of judging what effect this system may have upon the recruitment of staff in secondary grammar schools.
