3. Mid-point scale 2 taken as point 7.

4. Head teachers assumed to be at their salary maximum throughout.

scale 1, (c) at the mid-point on 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 (g) of group 2 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 (a) to (h), what is the salary at present actually received.

Sir Keith Joseph

The attached table shows the salary rates, excluding allowances, that teachers who on April 1984 were in the categories listed would have received under all the formal offers, and the informal one of 14 October 1985, made by the employers since January 1985 —so far as this can be determined from the terms of the offers made. The salary rates shown assume normal incremental progression but do not take account of the annual pay increase from 1 April 1986. This has yet to be negotiated.

5. All examples assume assimilation without promotion to the new scales envisaged in the September package.

6. Examples assume that the 14 October informal offer comprised 6.9 per cent. on all scales from 1 April 1985 rising to 7.5 per cent. on all scales on 31 March 1986.

7. The January agreement consists of a 6.9 per cent. increase on all scales with effect from 1 April 1985 and an additional 1.6 per cent. on all scales from 31 March 1986, calculated on the 31 March 1985 base.
