HC Deb 25 June 1964 vol 697 cc107-8W
45. Mrs. Hart

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when the new salary levels recommended by the National Incomes Commission for the universities, and accepted by Her Majesty's Government, will be reflected in the salaries of the staff of the Medical Research Council; and if he will give an undertaking that, when these salary increases take place, they will be not less than those recommended for university teachers.

Sir E. Boyle

Revised salary scales for the non-clinical scientific staff of the Medical Research Council, which are based on the comparable university scales, are being worked out. The new scales, which will be introduced as soon as possible, will be effective from 1st April, 1964, the same date as the university scales, and will be in line with those for comparable university staff.
