§ 144. Mr. Brewisasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he intends to take after the statutory control of wages ends to see that college of education teachers are put on the same footing for salaries as other Scottish teachers and, in particular, that college of education teachers who have retired during the period do not experience a permanent reduction in pension.
§ Mr. RossI have already notified to the colleges of education revised salary scales payable from 1st January, 1967, with effect from 1st October, 1966, in accordance with the deferment provisions of Cmnd. 3073. There is no power to make any compensatory adjustment of pension entitlement, which would in any case be inconsistent with the prices and incomes policy.
