Dr. Hampson
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the £312 offered to university teachers to cover the cost-of-living increase from October 1974 to October 1975 is now to count as a principal increase under the guidelines of The Attack on Inflation White Paper; and if it will therefore prevent any further pay award being made during the next pay round to 1st August 1976.
Mr. Mulley
The offer which has been made by the Government to the universities' side of the negotiating committee is intended to take effect from 1st October 1975. Since the 12-month interval between major pay increases will continue to apply, the next major increase thereafter would take effect from 1st October 1976.
