§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Education what is the present composition of the Burnham Committee; what proportion of its members represent the National Union of Teachers; and how is that representation arranged.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI am sending the hon. Member a copy of the current report of the main Burnham Committee. The list of members printed in the report shows that 16 out of the 26 members of the Teachers' Panel represent the National Union of Teachers. The Committee was reconstituted in April, 1944, by my predecessor, the right hon. Member for Saffron Walden (Mr. R. A. Butler), in order that its constitution might be more in keeping with the new conditions resulting from the Education Act of that year.
