HC Deb 07 December 1981 vol 14 cc319-20W
Mr. Wheeler

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many persons are employed by the Inner London Education Authority in non-teaching and teaching staff capacities, in the salary ranges of and above £10,000 per annum; in what grades; how these compare with the civil servant equivalent grades; and what is the Inner London Education Authority London weighting for non-teaching staff and for teaching staff.

Mr. William Shelton

The Department does not collect detailed information on non-teaching staff numbers and salaries or on London weighting for non-teaching staff, nor can I offer a breakdown of ILEA teacher numbers and salaries later than 31 March 1980. My hon. Friend may wish to address his enquiries on those points to the ILEA direct.

Civil Service grades with maxima above £10,000 per annum are; senior executive officer, £9,232 to £11,265; principal, £11,372 to £15,010; senior principal, £15,010 to £18,755; assistant secretary, £17,685 to £20,895; under-secretary £21,939; deputy secretary £26,215. The most senior posts, including permanent secretary, carry salaries in the range £30,495 to £35,845. Where appropriate, London weighting is paid in addition up to under-secretary level: the 1981 rates are £1.087 (inner London) and £454 (outer London). For teachers, the 1980 London weighting rates were £759 (inner London), £498 (outer London) and £213 (fringe area). The 1981 rates are under negotiation.
