Education Committee.

Highlands College – Lecturers. Statement.

The President of the Education Committee made a statement in the following terms –

"I made my brief statement to the House last week in the hope that negotiations between my Committee and the National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education would be concluded on Thursday, 24th September. Sadly not only must the negotiations continue but once again the lecturers have refused to withdraw the action which they describe as working to rule'.

In these circumstances I cannot make a definitive statement but I believe that it is right to give the members of this House some explanation for the present situation.

Firstly, in 1986, schoolteachers (not the Highlands College lecturers) received a significant increase in pay. This was justified by the adoption of new conditions of service for teachers and following an evaluation of teachers' jobs, using a system known as HAY which is used throughout the public sector. HAY measures job responsibilities and knowledge needed to perform a job making it possible to compare pay rates with other employee groups which have been evaluated by the same process.

Following the teachers' award, the F.E. lecturers sought to reinstate the differentials in their pay rates which had existed previously, and to combine the Lecturer 1 and Lecturer 2 grades into one scale. Any change in the differentials could only follow from a full review of salary structure and conditions of service, together with a HAY evaluation of lecturers' posts. Following protracted negotiations Further Education lecturers' pay was increased with effect from June 1986 by the 6.8 per cent norm. In addition, the two grades of Lecturer 1 and Lecturer 2 were combined into one grade. This resulted in a pay scale with a maximum of £14,620 for the basic grade lecturer, which includes activities from Craft Skills to Business Studies. This maximum has already been increased by 6.5 per cent as an interim settlement from 1st June, 1987, giving a new maximum of £15,570. At the top of the range, a Senior Head of Department is now on a pay scale with a maximum of £21,092.

After the interim settlement for June, 1986, discussions continued on the method of applying HAY and it was agreed that any money due as a result of the HAY evaluation and the subsequent external comparison, should be backdated to 1st June, 1986.

The HAY exercise took some time to complete, but delays were as a result of the nature of the exercise, not because of deliberate delay on either side. The HAY exercise was completed in August, 1987, and negotiations commenced.

The Committee's position must be viewed against the Establishment Committee policy notified to the States in 1985

Members of the Jersey public services should be paid at rates which are, as far as can be found out, at or near the median point of rates paid for that type of work by other employers in the Island, when due account is taken of differences in conditions.

One of the major difficulties is that the current conditions of service document for F.E. Lecturers is ambiguous and imprecise. For example, the annual hours of work for Further Education lecturers are defined as 1,140 in college plus an unspecified number of hours away from the college. By contrast the agreement with teachers identifies their annual total of hours as 1,680.

Notwithstanding this, the Education Committee has been willing to acknowledge that full and conscientious performance of the work of a lecturer at Highlands College demands as much time as is required by other full time posts in the public sector, but the lack of definition in the current conditions of service continues to present problems.

It is extremely disappointing that negotiations were interrupted by the Further Education lecturers' decision to work to rule'. Action which the Education Committee regrets because it adversely affects both good employer/employee relationships and has led to some disruption in students' work programmes.

While the meeting held last Thursday did not resolve the dispute, agreement was reached that a new salary structure should be introduced as part of the 1986 settlement, and that a thorough review of conditions of service should be undertaken in the immediate future. As both the Director of Education and the Chief Executive Officer, Personnel Department, have to be in London today, arrangements have been made for informal talks to continue this evening. It is to be hoped that those talks will lead to a resolution of this dispute."

Letters of objection to applications to develop land. Statement.

The President of the Island Development Committee made a statement in the following terms –

"A Proposition asking the States whether they are of the opinion to request the Island Development Committee to ensure that in cases where there is an appeal, applicants or their agents can have access to written objections received by the Committee in respect of their applications was lodged on 6th January, 1987. On 30th June, 1987 Deputy D.J. de la Haye withdrew the Proposition and brought a new Proposition to request the Island Development Committee to ensure that applicants or their agents can have access to written objections received by the Committee in respect of their applications.

The questions of availability of objector's letters to planning applications has been raised on several occasions and has been discussed at length by my Committee.

Whereas there was some concern that the making available of an objector's letter to the applicant might inhibit a person from drawing the attention of the Committee to a piece of information which could be material to that decision it has been decided, against a background of advice given by Her Majesty's Attorney General, that copies of objector's letters will be made available to applicants, on request, from 1st October, 1987.

The Committee has been scrupulous in taking note only of those planning matters which are relevant to the application and the likely effects of proposals on the amenities enjoyed by adjoining property occupiers and, where necessary, the wider surroundings. In all cases these matters have been addressed by the officers of the Planning Department and the  points  raised  by  objectors  do  no  more  than support observations leading to a recommendation to grant or to refuse permission.

Some letters refer to matters which an applicant may feel is likely to influence the Committee's judgment. It is right that he should be given an opportunity to reply before the Committee makes a decision. In practice, he will ask to see what objectors have written only when the Committee has refused an application or imposed conditions which he thinks are unreasonable. When considering a request for reconsideration the Committee will have before it copies of relevant objections and the applicant's reply to them.

From 1st October letters of objection marked confidential' will be returned to the sender."

Convention on Social Security with Portugal. Statement.

The President of the Social Security Committee made a statement in the following terms –

"The Social Security Committee has been advised that it has become necessary to amend the Convention on Social Security between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of Portugal in order to introduce revised family allowance provisions,  to  take  account  of  changes  made  in  United Kingdom Social Security legislation and to allow for other minor  modifications.  A  draft  Exchange  of  Notes  has therefore been prepared for approval by both Governments.

The Committee has informed the Bailiff of its wish that the terms of the draft Exchange of Notes should apply to the Island.  The  amendments  will  come  into  force  on  1st October, 1987."
