HC Deb 22 March 1985 vol 75 c623W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what would be the equivalent of the employers' current percentage pay offer to teachers if each teacher were to be offered the same amount of money.

Sir Keith Joseph

Based on the latest assessment of pay costs by the employers' secretariat, it is estimated that the 4 per cent. pay offer if divided equally among all teachers in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools in England and Wales, would produce an increase of about £390 per annum on basic pay for each full-time teacher.
