Gareth Thomas
Party Chair, Co-operative Party
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether he plans to allocate new moneys to fund in full the pay award for teaching staff in Catholic sixth-form colleges; and if he will make a statement.
Anne Milton
Minister of State (Education)
Further education (FE) providers, including Catholic sixth-form colleges, are independent institutions responsible for setting their own staff salaries, and the government has no current plans to allocate money to assist with any increases in their teachers’ pay.
However, we know that FE faces cost pressures, and we are working with the sector to look closely at funding, to see what more we can do and to inform Spending Review planning.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
