HC Deb 08 July 1971 vol 820 c428W
41. Mr. Waddington

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether, after the present negotiations on teachers' pay are concluded, she will take steps to ensure that the procedure rule which prevents any union other than the National Union of Teachers putting its views on pay structure in the Burnham Committee is revised.

Mrs. Thatcher

The rules of procedure in the Burnham Committee are a matter for the Committee itself. It would be open to the Committee by agreement to change its rules to bring about the situation my hon. Friend desires.
