HC Deb 08 July 1980 vol 988 cc135-6W
Dr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received from (a) the Association of University Teachers, (b) individual members of the Association of Univeristy Teachers and (c) others with regard to the annual pay settlement for university teachers; and what reply he has sent.

Dr. Boyson

My right hon. and learned Friend has received a deputation from the Association of University Teachers, about 30 letters from individual university teachers and about 500 other letters. The replies indicated that the question was receiving careful consideration and that a meeting of the negotiating committee would be arranged as soon as possible.
