§ 120. Mr. Malcolm MacPhersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to increase salaries for teachers in secondary schools.
§ Mr. Henderson StewartThe salaries of teachers in secondary schools were increased from 1st April, 1954, by the140W Teachers' Salaries (Scotland) Regulations, 1954, which are not due to expire till 31st March, 1957. Changes in the Regulations affecting the salaries of secondary school teachers may be proposed as a result of any recommendations that the National Joint Council may make on the application of equal pay to the teaching profession or as a result of consideration of the Report of the Appleton Committee on Mathematics and Science Teachers. My right hon. Friend has not yet received the Report of the Appleton Committee and he should, of course, have to obtain the views of the National Joint Council on any proposals affecting salaries that might be made in it.
