HC Deb 07 December 1988 vol 143 c165W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information he has as to the salaries of grades of teachers comparable to those in the United Kingdom in each member state of the European Community.

Mrs. Rumbold

Some information on European Community teachers' salaries in 1985 is published in a detailed research report "The Conditions of Service of Teachers in the European Community", published by the European Commission in 1988 (pages 133 to 160). A copy is available in the Library.

Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to ensure that the pay of supply teachers takes account of their length of service and experience.

Mrs. Rumbold

The schools teachers' pay and conditions document 1988 already provides for local education authorities when determining the pay of a supply teacher to have regard to any qualifications or experience which they consider to be of value in the performance of his duties.
