HC Deb 11 June 1952 vol 502 cc31-2W
62. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will consider the setting up of a Burnham-type committee to negotiate salary scales for teachers in Nigeria.

Mr. Hopkinson

A joint negotiating committee on teachers' salaries already exists. It consists of an independent chairman and two non-voting members appointed by the Government, with equal numbers of representatives of the teachers and of the employing agencies. The committee has met twice and is examining comprehensive proposals put forward by the teachers' panel for a revision of salaries.
