HC Deb 28 March 1991 vol 188 cc484-5W
Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has now considered the views expressed by the local authority employers, teacher unions and others on his proposals following the fourth report of the Interim Advisory Committee on School Teachers' Pay and Conditions; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

After careful consideration of the representations I have received I have decided to accept the recommendations contained in the fourth report of the Interim Advisory Committee on School Teachers' Pay and Conditions, but to stage their introduction over the period up to 1 December 1991.

Drafts of the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document 1991, an order which gives effect to this document, and a circular to local education authorities and others, are being sent to the relevant local authority associations, teachers' unions and bodies representing the interests of the governors of voluntary schools and grant-maintained schools inviting their comments by Monday 22 April.
