HC Deb 16 December 1975 vol 902 cc552-3W
Dr. Hampson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many federated institutes of the British Postgraduate Medical Federation there are; and how many of their teaching and research staff receive public money, including salary supplements.

Mr. Mulley

There are 13 institutes in the British Postgraduate Medical Federation, which is a school of the University of London. The federation had 523 full-time academic staff in 1974–75, of whom 315 were wholly, and seven were partly, paid from the university's general income. Supplementary grants are made to the university by the University Grants Committee to cover the cost of salary increases in respect of these staff. Salaries of the remaining 201 staff are met from a variety of sources, including research grants from both public and private funds.
