HC Deb 01 July 1965 vol 715 c110W
28. Mr. Raphael Tuck

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will initiate legislation to empower himself to provide that teachers will receive at least as much per week for full-time teaching as they would receive by way of National Assistance and other benefits if they were unemployed.

Mr. Crosland

No. It is the duty of the Burnham Committees, newly constituted under the Remuneration of Teachers Act, 1965, and on which I am directly represented, to make recommendations regarding the remuneration of teachers.
