Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 20 January 2017 to Question 60334, and with reference to the Answer of 10 June 2015 to Question 856, whether the figures supplied in those answers for the average salaries of teaching assistants in November 2013 and November 2015 were calculated on the same basis.
The following table shows the time series of average salaries for full-time teaching assistants in all state funded schools in England. Figures for 2010 are not available.
| All Full-time Teaching Assistants |
2011 | £18,800 |
2012 | £18,800 |
2013 | £19,000 |
2014 | £19,000 |
2015 | £19,200 |

Salaries are rounded to the nearest £100.
These figures are consistent with those published in PQ60334 published in Hansard, which is available at the following web link: http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2017-01-17/60334
The figures published in the answer of 10 June 2015 to Question 856 included both full and part-time teaching assistants. The preference is to show salaries for full-time teaching assistants because the salary data for part-time teaching assistants is not always provided on a comparable basis.
