HC Deb 23 January 1978 vol 942 c478W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science in what manner she intends to respond to the recently moderated claim by the Association of University Teachers for the settlement of its recognised pay anomaly.

Mr. Oakes

I refer the hon. Member to the second paragraph of the answer given by my right hon. Friend to Questions from the hon. Member for Macclesfield (Mr. Winterton) and Aberdeen, South (Mr. Sproat) on 16th January.—[Vol. 942, c. 61.]

Mr. Lawson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans she has to rectify the university teachers' pay anomaly by offering an increase in the current year of less than 10 per cent. to other teachers of higher education.

Mr. Oakes

Pay settlements for teachers in institutions of further education maintained by local education authorities are negotiated not by my right hon. Friend but by the Burnham Further Education Committee.
