HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 cc30-1W
Dr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report the salary ranges of university academic staff above the level of senior lecturer, including vice-chancellors.

Dr. Boyson

There are no national professional scales. The arrangements provide for a minimum salary of £14,275 and an average limited in each university to £16,765. Those figures applied from 1 October 1979 and are now under review, with effect from 1 October 1980. Vice-Chancellors' salaries are determined by individual universities: information on the range of salaries paid is not available.

Mr. Derek Foster

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has issued any guidance to the careers service about its involvement in the youth opportunities programme.

Mr. Peter Morrison

I have been asked to reply. I will do so as soon as possible.
