§ Mr. Wheelerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish a table to show the salary at 1 April 1985, 1 November 1985, 1 April 1986 and 1 November 1986 for teachers in inner London (a) entering the profession as new graduates, (b) at the top of scale 1, (c) at the mid-point of scale 2, (d) at the bottom of scale 3, (e) at the top of scale 2, (f) at the top of scale 3 and for heads in inner London, (g) of group primary schools and (h) of group 12 secondary schools, if (i) the formal offer of 12 September 1985, (ii) the informal offer of 14 October 1985 or (iii) the agreement of 24 January 1986 were implemented; and, for each of the categories specified, what is the salary at present actually received.
§ Mr. Chris PattenThe table shows the current salary rates of teachers in inner London, in the categories listed, and what they would have received under the formal offer of 12 September 1985, the informal offer of 14 October 1985 and the provisional agreement of 24 January—so far as this can be determined from the terms of the offers made.
The current salary rated were set on 1 April 1984 and include inner London weighting of £1,038 but exclude other allowances. The rates assume normal incremental progression but do not take account of additional promotions that would be unlocked in the case of the 12 September offer. Nor do they take account of any pay increase from 1 April 1986, which has yet to be negotiated.
