Colleges of Education (Hansard, 27 October 1983)

§ Mr. Foulkes
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many staff for each subject are currently in each college of education; and how this compares with the position five years ago.

§ Mr. Allan Stewart
Since the answer involves a large number of figures, I shall write to the hon. Member.

§ Mr. Foulkes
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how he determines the annual salary bill of staff in colleges of education for the purpose of calculation of the payment from the Scottish Office to the colleges.

§ Mr. Allan Stewart
In determining recurrent grant allocations to colleges of education my right hon. Friend has regard to the bids by the colleges for recurrent grant in respect of academic and non-academic salaries; approved academic staffing complements; average salaries of academic staff; previous expenditure on nonacademic staffing adjusted to take account of changed commitments and revised costs; and prospective pay increases.

§ Mr. Foulkes
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the financial allocations for each college of education for 1984–85; when these were intimated to college boards of governors; how these compare with the equivalent figures for the past three years; what is the intake quota allocated to each college for the academic year 1983–84, for each course; and how this compares with the quota allocation for each of the past three years.

§ Mr. Allan Stewart
The financial allocations to colleges of education for 1984–85 have not yet been decided. The recurrent grant allocations to the colleges for the past three years are set out in table I. College intake quotas for 1983–84 and the preceding three academic years are set out in table II.
