Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give(a) the number of teachers' representatives to be included in the newly proposed teachers' negotiating group, (b) the number of representatives on the management side to be included in the teachers' negotiating group and (c) the number of management members who will be his representatives ; and if he will make a statement about who the other management representatives are likely to be.

Mrs. Rumbold

The Green Paper "Teachers' Pay and Conditions: A Consultative Document", considers two main alternative types of arrangements which have been proposed in recent months and then sets out proposals for a teachers' negotiating group. It sets out the Government's view that the Secretary of State's representatives should have a majority of votes on the management side of the teachers' negotiating group. Paragraphs 7.25 to 7.52 identify various issues about the details of a teachers' negotiating group on which views are sought, which include issues raised by the hon. Member.
