To ask the Secretary of State for Health, further to his reply to the hon. Member for Davyhulme of 4 July, what has been the percentage increase in average earnings from April 1980 to 1988 in respect of medical scientific officers.

We do not hold this information centrally. Pay rates for NHS scientists and clinical psychologists have increased by an average of 113 per cent. between April 1980 and April 1988.
