HC Deb 14 July 1980 vol 988 cc397-9W
61. Sir Anthony Royle

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why his Department has not yet responded

of all voluntary bodies to which his Department gave funds in 1979 and in the current year; and how much went to each individual body last year and in the current year.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The information requested is as follows:

to the proposals put jointly to him by the university authorities and Association of University Teachers regarding university teachers' salaries.

Dr. Boyson

The proposals require careful consideration and this inevitably takes time.

Mr. Bidwell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what are the reasons for delay in settling the pay claim of the Association of University Teachers when an agreement has been reached with the University Authorities Panel.

Dr. Boyson

The joint proposals on the pay of university teachers made by the Association of University Teachers and the University Authorities Panel have required careful consideration and there has been no unnecessary delay. A meeting of the negotiating committee will be arranged shortly.
