§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what additional resources are to be made available to him to implement the Government's proposals for the future of the teaching profession. [80441]
§ Mr. HainWe announced in December last year that education and training in Wales will receive a total of £844 million extra over the next three years. This includes resources for the new pay and performance management arrangements proposed in the Green Paper on the future of the teaching profession in Wales. The costs of these will be over and above the cost of normal pay increases which have been taken into account in plans for the local government revenue settlements for 2000–01 and 2001–02.
Decisions on education funding for 2000–01 onwards will be a matter for the National Assembly.
