HC Deb 02 April 1936 vol 310 cc2129-30
62. Mr. EDE

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he has yet formed an estimate of the number of domestic subjects and handicrafts teachers who will be required, in addition to the number required for present normal recruitment, in elementary schools in the event of the Education Bill being passed in its present form?

Mr. STANLEY

No, Sir.

Mr. EDE

When does the right hon. Gentleman think he will be in a position to make a statement on this matter?

Mr. STANLEY

That depends largely upon whether certain arrangements, upon which this matter depends, can be made in the Bill now being considered upstairs.

Mr. EDE

Then it will be never.
