§ Mr. Biffenasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what undertakings to increase productivity were given by the full-time teachers in technical colleges and institutes before the recent confirmation of a 7¼ per cent. salary increase.
§ Mr. Gordon Walker:No such undertakings were given, and teachers productivity in establishments for further education cannot in any case be precisely measured. In making their award, the arbitral body had regard to all the criteria in paragraph 22 of Cmnd. 3235.
The operation of the old scales was extended to 30th June, 1967, and that of the new ones will be from 1st July, 1967, to 31st March, 1969.
