HC Deb 15 November 1927 vol 210 c820
41. Mr. STEPHEN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of men and women teachers, respectively, unemployed at present in Scotland; and the number of graduates, non-graduates, and graduates with the Chapter V qualification who are unemployed?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The reply is in the negative. The Department have no means of estimating the number of qualified teachers in Scotland who are unemployed and who desire employment.

Mr. STEPHEN

Is the right hon. Gentleman's Department not able to make some estimate?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I should hesitate to make an estimate which might not be accurate.
