I move:
That a supplementary sum not exceeding £360,000 be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1963, for Secondary Education, including the Teachers' Salaries Grant, Capitation Grant, Incremental Salary to Secondary Teachers and Grant to the Secondary Teachers' Pension Fund.
This is required to meet the cost of increases in the incremental salaries for recognised secondary teachers which were accorded with effect from 31st November, 1961, and which arose from the implementation of the report of the Arbitration Board for Secondary Teachers which met on 23rd of February and 2nd March, 1962, and whose findings were approved by the Government. The extra provision required in subhead B.1 for 1962-63 as a result of the payment of these increases alone is estimated at £360,000. It is not anticipated that there will be any appreciable net savings in other subheads of the Vote.
