HC Deb 06 February 1979 vol 962 cc121-2W
55. Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science in view of the current dissatisfaction expressed by various groups of work people within the educational service about their differentials, their conditions of work and about their relations with the management side of the service, whether she will examine the existing negotiating structure within the service and bring forward proposals for its reform.

Mr. Oakes

My right hon. Friend has reviewed the constitution of the Burnham Committee in which teachers' pay is negotiated. She has no standing, however, in the negotiating machinery for other groups of local authority employees.
