Remuneration of Teachers Act 1965

HC Deb 30 June 1981 vol 7 c372W

Mr. Thornton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if it is still his intention to amend the Remuneration of Teachers Act 1965.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

Yes. It is the Government's intention to amend the Act so as to bring pay and other conditions of service within the scope of a single negotiating body. I have, however, come to the conclusion, following consultations with the major parties concerned, that it would be right to consider further some aspects of my proposals for legislation. This may mean that legislation cannot be completed in time for the 1982 negotiations.
