§ Mr. WillisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what the cost is of the implementation of each part of the teachers' performance-related pay scheme; and what the current cost is of administering the scheme. [130207]
§ Ms Estelle Morris[holding answer 12 July 2000]: We have made up to £1 billion available to support the cost of our teaching reforms in England until March 2002. Most of this extra money will be spent on the new teachers' pay system. The total cost of administering the pay reforms will be dependent upon the number of school visits carried out and this will not be known until later in 2000.
