HC Deb 06 May 1986 vol 97 c14W
Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has received from the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities of the anticipated extra expenditure incurred by regions in settlement of teachers' pay for 1985–86.

Mr. Ancram

The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities have estimated that education authorities have incurred £11,286,000 expenditure on teachers' pay in 1985–86 in excess of the provision they originally made in their budgets for that year, after account is taken of the savings made by the authorities because of the teachers' strike action.
