Mr. Kenneth Baker

In return for a pay increase of £519 or 5.5 per cent. from 1 April 1986, all the teachers unions agreed to an immediate return to peace and calm in our schools. All the unions are now engaged in the talks at ACAS and I hope that these will lead to a satisfactory lasting solution to the problems which have bedevilled our schools in recent years.
