§ Mr. Speedasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give fresh guidance to local education authorities regarding payment for part-time teachers during holiday periods; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. BoysonTeachers' pay is negotiated in the Burnham committees, and my right hon. Friend publishes their recommendations in statutory documents. It is for local education authorities as employers to apply the salary scales and other provisions set out in those documents. Copies of the current statutory documents, which include reference to the remuneration payable to part-time teachers, are in the Library of the House. My right hon. Friend issues no other guidance concerning payment to teachers.
