HC Deb 03 March 1966 vol 725 c337W
Mr. Bessell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what increases in terms of real money have been received by headmasters of grammar schools since January 1954.

Mr. Redhead

A grammar school headmaster today is receiving about £1,300 to £1,500 per annum more, according to the size of school, than the headmaster of a school with the same number of pupils in January 1954. This represents increases of the order of 100 per cent. to 120 per cent. If account is taken of changes in price levels over the same period, the increases in real money are of the order of 75 per cent. to 90 per cent.
