§ 66. Sir B. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is aware that a salary adjustment claim for university teachers was submitted to the University Grants Committee in January, 1965, and that no reply has been received; and when an answer to the claim may be expected.
§ Mr. CroslandThe University Grants Committee informed me in April that the Association of University Teachers had simultaneously put forward a salary adjustment claim and asked for new machinery to review the salaries of university teachers. I have had to consider these proposals in the light of the Government's prices and incomes policy. I have now arranged with the Universities Grant Committee to meet representatives both of the Association of University Teachers and of the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals very shortly to discuss them. I cannot at this stage say when an answer to the claim may be expected.
