HC Deb 15 May 1970 vol 801 c380W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what were the average salaries payable to qualified graduate teachers in maintained primary and secondary schools for the years ended 31st March, 1968 and 31st March, 1969 by age groups: 20 to 25 years, 26 to 30 years, 31 to 35 years, and 36 to 40 years, respectively.

Miss Lestor:

Information on average salaries payable to qualified graduate teachers in maintained primary and secondary schools is available for the year ending 31st March, 1968 but figures are not yet available for the year ending 31st March, 1969.

The table below shows the average salaries payable by age groups up to and including age 44, for men and women separately and for the total of men and women combined, for the year ending 31st March, 1968. The salary figure quoted are actually the salaries payable on the 1st April, 1968.

Miss Lestor:

The national figures (England and Wales) were:

1960 876,974
1963 1,075,353
1969 1,352,552
Due to boundary changes following the restructuring of local government between 1963 and 1969, this information is not readily available for the county of Essex.
