HL Deb 25 July 1991 vol 531 c86WA
Lord Walton of Detchant

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What action they propose to take to enable the universities to honour the long-standing agreement under which clinical academic staff receive the same salary increases as do their colleagues engaged in similar work in the National Health Service.

Baroness Blatch

The agreement dating from 1986 to which the noble Lord refers relates to the comparative effects of agreements on salaries in the National Health Service and pay settlements for academic non-clinical staff. No settlement for non-clinical staff relevant to this matter has yet been struck: when that happens, Her Majesty's Government will of course review the position that arises.
