HC Deb 14 October 1975 vol 897 cc650-1W
29. Mr. Cronin

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what recent representations he has received from university teachers with regard to the Government's policy towards their pay claim: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mulley

I have received approximately 200 letters. The Government have offered, with effect from 1st October 1975, new salary scales which both honour the recent arbitration award and fall within the counter-inflation policy. A reply to that offer is awaited.
