HC Deb 06 August 1980 vol 990 c95W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Lord Privy Seal what additional funds he now intends to make available to pay professional staff on contracts to universities who are the financial responsibility of his Department, in the light of the salary just negotiated by university teachers.

Mr. Neil Marten

Any increases which may be determined for those on contracts to universities who are the financial responsibility of my Department will of course be provided for. I cannot say what additional funds may be needed.
