§ Mr. PawseyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education by how much university academic staff pay has increased since 1979; and what was the average pay level for such staff at 1 April.
§ Mr. FormanBetween December 1979 and April 1992 the average pay of academic staff in the universities supported by the Universities Funding Council in Great Britain rose by just under 20 per cent. in real terms, as measured by the retail prices index. The Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals estimate that the average pay for a university lecturer as at 1 April this year was £22,894.
