HC Deb 17 January 1990 vol 165 c240W
Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any long-term plans to improve teacher remuneration.

Mr. Rumbold

The Government's policy is that teachers' pay should be such as to enable the maintained school system to recruit, retain and motivate sufficient teachers of the required quality, within what can be afforded.
