§ Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that the responsibility allow- 124W ances are operated in varying ways by education authorities and that in some districts science teachers are prevented from qualifying for the maximum allowance because each scientific subject is taught by one master and only one assistant; and whether, in view of the importance of encouraging all science graduates to take up the teaching profession or remain therein, he will review the present arrangements with a view to modification.
§ Sir D. EcclesI have asked local education authorities to let me have by next October details of their revised schemes of allowances so that I can see how these arrangements are working.
