S-1 Committees to consider remuneration of teachers.

1 Committees to consider remuneration of teachers.

(1) The Secretary of State shall secure that, for the purpose of considering the remuneration payable to teachers by education authorities, there shall be one or more committees consisting of—

(a ) a chairman appointed by the Secretary of State as being an independent person;

(b ) persons nominated from time to time by such bodies as may be determined by the Secretary of State, being bodies appearing to him to represent education authorities;

(c ) persons nominated from time to time by such bodies as may be determined by the Secretary of State, being bodies appearing to him to represent teachers;

(d ) one or more persons nominated from time to time by the Secretary of State to represent him.

(2) The Secretary of State shall determine the number of persons to be nominated by the bodies mentioned in paragraphs (b ) and (c ) of the foregoing subsection.

(3) Subject to the following provisions of this section, the Secretary of State may from time to time vary or revoke any determination made by him under this section.

(4) A determination of the Secretary of State whereby a body which is for the time being represented on a committee constituted under this section will cease to be so represented (except in a case where that body will have ceased to exist before the time when the determination is to take effect) shall not have effect unless it is embodied in an order made by the Secretary of State.

(5) Any order made under the last foregoing subsection may be revoked by a subsequent order made by the Secretary of State.

(6) Any power to make orders under this section shall be exerciseable by statutory instrument; and any order under subsection (4) of this section shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

(7) The Secretary of State, either at the time when a committee is constituted under this section or at any subsequent time, may give directions specifying the descriptions of teachers whose remuneration any such committee are to consider and the descriptions of such remuneration.

S-2 Review of remuneration by committees.

2 Review of remuneration by committees.

(1) It shall be the duty of each committee, whenever they think fit or are required by the Secretary of State to do so, to consider the relevant remuneration of teachers.

(2) Where, in consequence of such consideration a committee agree on any recommendations with respect to the relevant remuneration of teachers, they shall transmit those recommendations to the Secretary of State.

(3) Subject to the following provisions of this section, on the receipt of any recommendations of a committee under the last foregoing subsection the Secretary of State shall prepare a draft memorandum setting out the scales and other provisions required for determining the relevant remuneration of teachers, in the form in which, in his opinion, those scales and provisions should be so as to give effect to the recommendations of the committee.

(4) Where the Secretary of State has prepared a draft memorandum under the last foregoing subsection, he shall consult the committee in question with respect to the draft and shall make such modifications of the draft as are requisite for giving effect to any representations made by the committee with respect thereto; and he shall then—

(a ) arrange for a memorandum setting out the requisite scales and other provisions in the form of the draft, or in that form as modified under this subsection, as the case may be, to be published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, and

(b ) make an order referring to that memorandum and directing that the relevant remuneration of teachers shall be determined in accordance with the scales and other provisions set out in the memorandum.

(5) If at the time when any recommendations of a committee are transmitted to the Secretary of State under subsection (2) of this section—

(a ) an order made under the last foregoing subsection is in force with respect to the relevant remuneration of teachers, and

(b ) it appears to the Secretary of State that effect could more conveniently be given to those recommendations by amending the scales and other provisions set out in the memorandum referred to in that order,

the Secretary of State, instead of preparing a new draft memorandum under subsection (3) of this section, may prepare a draft order setting out the amendments of those scales and other provisions which, in his opinion, are requisite for giving effect to the recommendations.

(6) Where the Secretary of State has prepared a draft order under the last foregoing subsection, he shall consult the committee in question with respect to the draft and shall make such modifications of the draft as are requisite for giving effect to any representations made...
