Member for West Ham, North, enclosing a memorandum from Sir Ronald Gould, M.A., the General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers, on the question of the Government education grant; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Sir E. BoyleMy noble Friend will be ready to discuss the Government's proposals with the National Union of 197W Teachers at an appropriate stage, but I cannot comment on its memorandum within the scope of a Parliamentary Answer.
