HC Deb 16 January 1985 vol 71 cc159-60W
25. Mr. Maxton

asked the Secretary of Stale for Scotland when he will meet the Education Institute of Scotland to discuss teachers' pay and conditions of service.

Mr. Younger

On 23 October 1984, at my request, I met representatives of the teachers' side of the Scottish joint negotiating committee for teaching staff in school education, when all the constitutent teachers' associations, including the Educational Institute of Scotland, were represented. No approach has been made to me about a separate meeting with the EIS. As I indicated earlier today, however, in response to the hon. Member for Dunfermline, West (Mr. Douglas), I understand that the SJNC(SE) have decided to seek a meeting with me.

29. Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a further statement on Scottish teachers' pay, conditions and terms of service.

16. Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on Scottish teachers' salaries and conditions.

Mr. Younger

I refer my hon. Friend and the hon. Member to the reply I gave earlier today to the hon. Member for Dunfermline, West (Mr. Douglas).
