HC Deb 14 January 1994 vol 235 cc278-9W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many teachers in state-maintained schools receive a gross salary of £30,000 per year.

Mr. Robin Squire

On the basis of departmental projections of teacher numbers and data from the recent pay survey conducted by the School Teachers Review Body we estimate that in England and Wales approximately 9,700 full-time teachers in the maintained nursery, primary, secondary and special sectors, including 5,900 heads and 3,100 deputies, were being paid salaries of £30,000 per annum or more on 1 September 1993.
