HC Deb 05 December 1968 vol 774 c524W
33. Mr. R. C. Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether, in view of the continuing shortage of science teachers, he will instruct his representative on the Burnham Committee to move that Committee to consider the claims of such professional bodies as the Royal Institute of Chemistry, for recognition of their qualifications.

Miss Bacon

The Burnham Committee have for some time accepted the claim of a number of professional bodies, including the Royal Institute of Chemistry, that certain of their qualifications should be given graduate status for salary purposes.
