Answer: Mr. Nigel Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list for each local education authority (a) in receipt of area cost adjustment and (b) not in receipt of area cost adjustment, the average teacher salary in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available. [140518] Ms Estelle Morris: Average salaries of full-time qualified teachers (including heads and deputy heads) in the maintained schools sector at 31 March of each year 1990 to 1999, by local education authorities are contained in tables, copies of which have been placed in the Library. Local authorities created by local government reorganisation are shown below their parent authorities.
