HC Deb 25 May 1993 vol 225 cc495-6W
Ms Harman

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will publish a table showing the earnings of qualified teachers on each scale point from one to 10 in real terms at January 1993 prices for each year since 1990–91; and if he will provide estimates for 1993–94 and 1994–95.

Mr. Boswell

The following table shows the values of the points on the standard scale for qualified teachers other than heads and deputies at 1 April 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993. These have been converted to January 1993 prices by use of the retail prices index. Teachers paid on the standard scale may also be paid incentive allowances at one of five rates—currently £1,302, £2,109, £4,218, £5,625, and £7,734—and other discretionary payments. The salaries listed exclude London weighting. Teachers in service on 1 May 1993 will receive a lump sum of £90. The standard scale will cease to exist in September 1993 when a new pay spine for classroom teachers will be introduced.
