§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Secretary for Scotland, whether lady students, who have already partly qualified for the L.L.A. degree of St. Andrew's University 1524 in the belief that when qualified they would be eligible for teaching modern languages in State-aided secondary schools, would be eligible for such positions, under the new regulations, provided they have obtained the L.L.A. degree.
(Answered by Mr. Sinclair.) As the hon. Member has already been informed in correspondence, there are at present-no regulations whatever as to the qualifications of teachers in State-aided secondary schools. It is open to the managers of these schools to appoint a teacher whom they believe to be competent, independently of whether such teacher has obtained the L.L.A. of St. Andrew's University or any other degree.
