HC Deb 25 March 1964 vol 692 cc106-7W
106. Sir M. Galpern

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he now has for the reconstitution of the National Joint Council on Teachers' Salaries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Noble

I have now constituted the Scottish Joint Council for Teachers' Salaries containing, on the one hand, 12 representatives of the Association of County Councils in Scotland and the Scottish Counties of Cities Association and, on the other, 16 representatives of the Educational Institute of Scotland, two of the Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association and one of the Scottish Schoolmasters Association. I have invited Mr. Harald Leslie, Sheriff Principal of Caithness, Sutherland, Orkney and Zetland and chairman of the former National Joint Council, to act as independent chairman, and am asking the five associations to let me have their nominations for membership of the Council as soon as possible. I am placing a copy of the constitution of the Council in the Library.

Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of the new Council for Teachers' Salaries which he contemplates setting up; and when he will bring it into operation.

Mr. Noble

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply today on this matter to the hon. Member for Glasgow, Shettleston (Sir M. Galpern).
