§ Mr. WillisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many teachers in each local education authority were entitled to a golden hello in 2001–02. [79467]
§ Mr. MilibandThe information is not available in the form requested. The table shows provisional data on the number of claims for reimbursement of Golden Hello payments received by my Department in respect of the 2001–02 financial year. The payments comprise a mixture of "old-style", £2,500 Golden Hellos paid on appointment to a relevant post and "new-style", £4,000 Golden Hellos paid on successful completion of induction. The number of newly-qualified teachers who were eligible to receive an "old-style" payment in 2001–02, but exercised their right to claim a "new-style" Golden Hello later is not known.
