asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is now able to make an announcement regarding the salaries of university teachers.

Mr. Amory:

I hope it will be possible to announce a decision shortly.

Is the Chancellor aware that these negotiations have been going on for nearly six months? Will he say whether any adjustments that may be made will be made retrospective to October?

Mr. Amory:

The Answer I have just given will show that we are not delaying. I do not think the delay has been excessive. This is quite an important issue, with some complications of its own in it. When I said "shortly", I hoped that it would be safe even to add "very shortly".
