HC Deb 14 November 1929 vol 231 cc2204-5
54. Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the President of the Board of Education whether in view of paragraph 10 of Circular No. 1,404, he proposes to bring pressure to bear on local authorities to rescind or modify regulations forbidding the employment of married women as teachers?

Mr. MORGAN JONES

My right hon. Friend has already advised the local education authorities to take into consideration their future requirements before discharging married women teachers, and I have no reason to think that they will fail to take this advice.
