FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING AND PAYSCALES

Early day motion 80, tabled 4 July 2001 by Diana Organ (Labour). Signed by 98 members.

That this House applauds the Government's aims for further education and welcomes its targets in this sector; but recognises that these will only be delivered if further education staff salaries encourage both recruitment and retention and if poor funding levels which colleges experience are addressed by the Government, along with the loosening of ties around existing allocations of funding.

Signatures by party: Labour 84, Labour/Co-operative 9, Liberal Democrat 4, UUP 1.
