HC Deb 14 February 1983 vol 37 c14W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what effects on the education system he expects to result from the forecasted expenditure on the service outlined in "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1983–84 to 1985–86".

Sir Keith Joseph

Provided that costs, including in particular pay settlements, are contained and planned savings achieved, the plans outlined in Cmnd. 8789 should allow local authorities in general to maintain or improve levels of provision. In addition, they allow increased provision for new technologies, new blood in universities, and grants for priority areas in in-service teacher training and for training awards in CDT.
