HC Deb 11 November 1968 vol 773 cc38-9W
88. Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to set up machinery for negotiation and regular review of university teachers' salaries by a body representative of university teachers.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

University teachers' salaries are the subject of a standing reference to the National Board for Prices and Incomes, under which it is for the Board to keep them under continuous review.

89. Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is aware that the National Board for Prices and Incomes are still considering evidence in connection with their forthcoming report on the salaries of university teachers more than a year after the matter was referred to them; and if he will take steps to expedite the publication of the Board's Report.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The Board has undertaken to make its first report as quickly as possible. I expect to receive it before the end of the year.
