HC Deb 02 May 1974 vol 872 cc531-2W
Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will act urgently to change the formula for calcu- lating the London weighting allowance to reflect fully the impact of housing costs on teacher employment in the inner and outer London area.

Mr. Booth

The Government have decided that improvements in London weighting beyond those permitted by the Pay Code must await the Pay Board's report. The Chairman of the Pay Board has given an assurance that everything possible will be done to produce the report as quickly as possible.
