Teachers: Pay

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what proportion of teachers will receive pay increases of (a) less than 2.45 per cent., (b) 2.45 per cent. and (c) more than 2.45 per cent. from September; and if he will make a statement. [203478]

Jim Knight: My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has proposed to accept the recommendations of the School Teachers’ Review Body for a pay award of 2.45 per cent. for school teachers in England and Wales from 1 September 2008. This would mean that all teachers currently in service and who remain in service on 1 September 2008 would receive a minimum uplift of 2.45 per cent. About 40 per cent. of teachers progress to a higher point in any one year and these teachers would therefore receive additional increases.

Youth Referral Orders

Ms Keeble: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many young people have been the subject of youth referral orders, broken down by categories of offence. [203822]

Beverley Hughes: The tables showing the available information on numbers of referral orders issued and the types of offences for which these were made are placed in the House Libraries. The tables are taken from ‘Sentencing statistics 2006, England and Wales’ published by the Ministry of Justice.
