1. The data are taken from the annual recurrent spending returns from local authorities to the Department of the Environment/Welsh Office; 1988–89 is the latest available year for such data. Returns were not received from three authorities; the totals have not been grossed up to take account of them.
2. The data on the remuneration of teaching staff cover all employees in all sectors of local authority education who are paid within the scope of the Teachers' Pay and Conditions Act 1987, and all lecturers in local-authority-funded further and higher education. They relate to gross pay, including National Insurance and superannuation contributions.
3. The data on the remuneration of other staff are aggregated from relevant staff lines within spending returns. They include education support staff such as nursery assistants and laboratory technicians; premises related staff such as caretakers and cleaners; administrative and clerical staff; kitchen and canteen staff; and other staff such as youth and community leaders and midday supervisory assistants. Again they relate to gross pay and cover all sectors of local authority education. They exclude some staff costs in areas where those costs cannot be identified separately from non-staff costs—e.g. the salaries and wages of building maintenance staff within total spending on the repair and maintenance of buildings.
