HC Deb 15 February 1934 vol 285 c2086
21. Mr. HANNON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education how many men and women teachers, respectively, left the training colleges and university training departments in 1933; and how many of these men and women, respectively, have failed to find employment at the beginning of the present year?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

My Noble Friend would refer to the answer given on Thursday last, of which a copy is being sent to the hon. Member.

Mrs. SHAW

Would not a reduction of the compulsory age for the retirement of women teachers create vacancies for younger members of the teaching profession?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

I dare say, but there are some objections to it, which it would take too long to enumerate.

Sir PERCY HARRIS

Would it not be simpler to reduce the size of the classes?
