As I have already said, everybody expects inflation to fall to 6 or 5·5 per cent. by the end of next year. A general pay increase of 9·5 per cent., with 12·75 per cent. for heads and deputies, is far ahead of inflation. Teachers are already 30 per cent. ahead of inflation during the lifetime of this Government. They have already enjoyed an increase in their real living standards and that will obviously increase substantially as a result of the Government's decisions for next year.
