Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is the total cost(a) nationally and (b) to each local education authority of the teachers' pay award in 1995–96. [11746]

Mr. Robin Squire

The total estimated cost in England and Wales of the teachers' pay increase in 1995–96 is around £290 Million. The following table illustrates the cost of the award by updating the 1993–94 expenditure recorded by local education authorities in England and Wales for teaching staff salaries in nursery, primary, secondary and special schools by the teachers' pay awards of 2.9 per cent. in 1994–95 and 2.7 per cent. in 1995–96. The 1993–94 expenditure figures are the latest available for local education authority schools in England and Wales. The figures in the table take no account of changes in teacher numbers or other factors that affect the teachers' paybill.
