§ Dr. Kim HowellsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) if he will publish a table similar to appendix A of Cm. 973 showing the teachers' pay baseline 1990–91 for Wales; and if he will give a breakdown in similar form showing the cost of implementing the recommendations of the interim advisory committee in 1990–91 and in a full year thereafter;
(2) pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Pontypridd of 9 February, Official Report, column 811, what amount and proportion of the difference between the full £600 million remit given to the interim advisory committee and the £563 million English element of that remit has been included in the education component of total standard spending for authorities in Wales.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe Welsh component of the total shown in appendix A of Cm. 973 is estimated at £485 million. The breakdown of the pay baseline in the categories set out in Cm. 973 is only available on an England and Wales basis. The cost for Wales of staging the interim advisory committee's recommendation in the way accepted by the Government would be around £37 million in 1990–91 and £44 million in a full year. The remit given to the IAC was allowed for in full in the Welsh local authority revenue settlement for 1990–91. Standard spending assessments are not hypothecated to particular services.
