HC Deb 03 May 1923 vol 163 c1596
49. Mr. FOOT

asked the President of the Board of Education if there are any statistics available showing the number of local authorities who make marriage a disqualification for employment as certificated teachers?

Mr. WOOD

I regret that I possess no official statistics on this point.

Mr. MARDY JONES

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a very important law case on this point in London at the present time between the London County Council and the teachers?
